Philippians chapter three, verses 20 and 21,

but our citizenship is in heaven. And from it, we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body by the power that enables him

And not just to bring us there, he's going to transform our lowly bodies to be like his glorious

body. Oh, so much there. These bodies that are wasting away, they can have pains and get sick

and are susceptible to disease. And at a deeper level, are susceptible to sin and to giving

into temptation. But one day, these bodies are going to be transformed to be like the glorious

body of Jesus, free from sin, free from suffering, free from pain, all made possible by the power

that enables him to subject all things to himself. Meaning, Jesus has power to make everything in

all creation new, including our bodies and everything in this world. Oh, live with this hope

today. Amidst whatever you are facing as a citizen of a country in this world amidst whatever trials
