In this passage, Paul describes the Christian life using two metaphors: 1) as a purposeful journey (or even a race), that is shaped not by our pasts, but by God's future redemption; and 2) as citizenship in a heavenly commonwealth, which is also oriented toward the future (eagerly anticipating Christ's return). Preached at Saint Mo's, Charles Village, Baltimore by Dr. Rebekah Eklund on 8/21/16.
