The City of the King
By: Dr. Robert Petterson
Nov 23, 2008
While on Patmos, St. John saw a vision of heaven—the ultimate glory of The City of God. The One who sits on the throne is the focus of heaven’s worship. The City of God demands that Christ alone is our King. We put no trust in political leaders, refuse to give our ultimate allegiance to economic and political systems, and never forget that our citizenship is in heaven where our only Lord sits enthroned in the only majesty worth serving.
A City on the Move

An old spiritual contains these haunting words: “This world is not my home. I’m just a pilgrim passin’ through…” St. Paul reminds the First Century believers in Philippi that our citizenship is in heaven. It is from there that our Savior will come to take us home. We must never forget where we come from, where our true homeland lies, and which Sovereign we ultimately serve.
A City on a Hill

Jesus didn’t make life any easier for us when he said that we are to be “in the world, but not of the world.” We may belong to the City of God, but must live also in the city of man. St. Augustine says that we are the unseen city in the city that is seen. But we are not invisible. As the glory of our God shines through our good works, we light up the darkness that pervades the cities of men.
The City Whose Architect is God
By: Dr. Robert Petterson

St. Augustine says that the city of man (De Civitas Homi) is conceived in the mind of man and is, therefore, subject to all its limitations. That which is built by human hands will ultimately be torn down by human hands. Where kings ruled and merchants prospered, snakes and scorpions now move silently through dusty ruins of those houses of cards that are De Civitas Homi.
