更美的家乡(A Better Home) 来11：13-16节
经文 Scripture 来11：13 這些人都是存著信心死的，並沒有得著所應許的；卻從遠處望見，且歡喜迎接，又承認自己在世上是客旅，是寄居的。 Hebrew 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them , and embraced them , and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 来11：14 說這樣話的人是表明自己要找一個家 Hebrew 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 来11：15 他們若想念所離開的家鄉，還有可以回去的機會。
经文 Scripture Hebrew 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 来11：16 他們卻羨慕一個更美的家鄉，就是在天上的。所以 神被稱為他們的 神，並不以為恥，因為他已經給他們預備了一座城。 Hebrew 11:16 But now they desire a better country , that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

在主耶稣里更美好的家 (A better home in Jesus Christ) 我又听见、在天上、地上、地底下、沧海里、和天地间一切所有被造之物、都说、但愿颂赞、尊贵、荣耀、权势、都归给坐宝座的和羔羊、直到永永远远。（启5：13） 我听见有大声音从宝座出来说、看哪、 神的帐幕在人。他要与人同住、他们要作他的子民、 神要亲自与他们同在、作他们的 神．（启21：3）
你愿意找寻这样永恒的家吗？(Do you want to look for this eternal home?)
