Heaven: The Home We Long For | Sunday Message

Homer’s epic The Odyssey—retold in this summer’s blockbuster—is built around one longing: to get home. The Greeks even had a word for it: nostos, or “homecoming.” It’s where we get the word “nostalgia”—literally, the ache of home.

For ten years, Odysseus fights his way past hostile gods just to reach Ithaca—Poseidon, the Sirens, the Cyclops, and more.

Here’s the difference: we don’t have to fight our way home. We just have to find our way back. Jesus said it plainly, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
