None of Us Are From Around Here (Hebrews 13:14)
Exhibit AKey Evidence
- In Airborne (1993), a California surfer lands in snowy Cincinnati and introduces himself in one line: "I'm not from around here."
- Every believer could say the same. We live here, we work here and we love our neighbors here, but this world isn't our final home.
- If you feel out of place in this culture, that's not a malfunction. It's a reminder.
- Live like you're passing through, because you are.
Exhibit BFrom the Word
“For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.”
Clip: Airborne (1993), dir. Rob Bowman. Used as fair-use commentary.

None of us are from around here. 🌍
In Airborne (1993), a California surfer lands in snowy Cincinnati and introduces himself in one line: "I'm not from around here."
Every believer could say the same. We live here, we work here and we love our neighbors here, but this world isn't our final home. "For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come" (Hebrews 13:14 NKJV).
If you feel out of place in this culture, that's not a malfunction. It's a reminder. Like Abraham, we're strangers and pilgrims on the earth, looking for a city whose builder and maker is God. Live like you're passing through, because you are.
The light was always there.
