Abraham was “looking forward to the city with foundations, whose builder and maker is God” (Heb. 11:10).

Home is not where your is, but where your is.”
Heaven is defined not by in the room but by in it.
1 John 3:2 — “We shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” Transformation comes from seeing Christ.
The Watchtower Perspective
“On the battlefield, it looks hopeless. From the watchtower, you see the winning side is coming.”
On the battlefield of life, trouble and loss look overwhelming. But climb the watchtower of Christ’s promise—“I go to prepare a place for you”—and you see the bigger picture: reinforcements are coming, the victory is sure, your future is secure.
What that means today:
- Love without People last forever; possessions don’t.
- Face suffering without . Pain is real, but it cannot cancel the home Jesus is building for you.
