“E.T. Is Home”

1 Peter 2: 11: “Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul.” As Christians, some days we do feel like aliens—every effort we make to resist temptation makes us seem odd to everyone else! If we are aliens to them, they are alien to the Kingdom of God, and as aliens, one day they will be deported. As Jesus says, the stumbling block will be removed (Matthew 13: 41) and this earth will be inhabited exclusively by those for whom it was created.
