Hebrews 11:16. But now they desire a better country,
Do you feel those desires within your heart? If not, surely you have no faith, for they that have faith in the better country desire it.
Hebrews 11:16. That is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
He might be ashamed to be called their God if he had unsettled them, and made them long for another city, and yet had never prepared one for them. The longings of the saints are but prophecies of the benediction of God. That which he makes us hunger for, is prepared. The bread of life shall be given us, and that country which he makes us seek, exists, and will be found of us. Wherefore keep your face that way, and let every longing and pining for the home country reassure you that this is not any dreamland, but that there is such a place.
