A five-minute Christian meditation and lectio divina practice on Hebrews 11:13, with words from an Easter sermon by Gregory of Nazianzus. Day 2 of the Unseen Existences series.
Scripture Hebrews 11:13 (KJV) These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Refrain I am an animal en route to another native land.
Quote Gregory of Nazianzus, from an Easter Sermon "The great Architect of the universe conceived and produced a being endowed with both natures, visible and invisible. He created a being at once earthly and heavenly, insecure and immortal, visible and invisible, halfway between greatness and nothingness, flesh and spirit at the same time — an animal en route to another native land, and most mysterious of all, made to resemble God by simple submission to the divine will."
