Strangers & Pilgrims
Episode description
In today's podcast episode, Cush explores the concept of "strangers and pilgrims" concerning the Israelites and the land of Canaan. He highlights how God promised this land to Abraham and his descendants, but they were to remain separate from the Canaanites' cursed practices and idolatry. The Israelites, though living in Canaan, were considered "strangers and sojourners" as the land ultimately belonged to God. This status emphasized their faith and obedience, as they were not to adopt the customs of the Canaanites or make covenants with them. This episode draws a parallel to the church, who also view themselves as strangers and pilgrims on earth, seeking a heavenly home based on faith in Jesus Christ.
Key Scripture(s): The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. (Leviticus 25:23)
