The Call of Abraham

Chapter 28

The City of the Living God

"Abraham looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God." (Hebrews 11:10)

That is the only "holy city." It is "reserved in heaven for you," (1 Peter 1:4) and in it is prepared a special "place for you" (John 14:2) if you will but allow Him to prepare you for it. Not to the Jerusalem "trodden down of the nations," (Luke 21:24) does faith look, but to the "Jerusalem which is above, ... which is the mother of us all." (Galatians 4:26)--Present Truth, February 3, 1898.
