Overview

Abraham is a lot like many of us, who are not from where we now live. We’ve been brought somewhere from elsewhere. Abraham is the same. Abraham left his home community and became an exile.

The Bible tells us repeatedly in the New Testament that each of us should see ourselves as exiles. We should live where we’re called to live as exiles. What does that mean? What did Abraham actually do in his exile? Let’s look at what the Bible says about how Christians are supposed to relate to the cities to which they’ve been called.

We learn three things from this passage: 1) God builds cities, 2) God sends people to cities, and yet at the same time, 3) God frees us from cities.
