"The Way of the Cross Leads Home." This world is not the Christian's home, we are merely passing through as pilgrims and sojourners. Paul told the Philippians that "our citizenship is in heaven." We as Christians are always looking for that eternal home, created by God and awaiting all those in Christ Jesus.

their pilgrimage.”

9. Philippians 3:17-21
17 Brethren, join in following my example,
and note those who so walk, as you have
us for a pattern. 18 For many walk, of
whom I have told you often, and now tell
you even weeping, that they are the
enemies of the cross of Christ:

10. Philippians 3:17-21
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is
their belly, and whose glory is in their
shame—who set their mind on earthly
things. 20 For our citizenship is in
heaven, from which we also eagerly wait
for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

11. Philippians 3:17-21
21 who will transform our lowly body that
it may be conformed to His glorious
body, according to the working by which
He is able even to subdue all things to
Himself.
