14If a foreigner dwelling among you wants to observe the Passover to the LORD, he is to do so according to the Passover statute and its ordinances. You are to apply the same statute to both the foreigner and the native of the land.’ ”
Foreigner
A stranger (foreigner) is a person who is away from his home, and a sojourner is one who only stays in a certain place for a short time, and then must be up and away. Such is a true Christian. In what respects is he a stranger?
First, he is a stranger in his position. He is not in his native land—he is a freeman of the New Jerusalem. He sings,
“I’m but a stranger here, Heaven is my home; Earth is a desert dreary, Heaven is my home.
“Dangers and sorrows stand Round me on every hand: Heaven is my fatherland Heaven is my home.” (Spurgeon)
Heaven is my home, is it yours!
Blessings
