Though Jacob settles in the best land Egypt has to offer, he never forgets that it is not his true home. In this episode, Pastor Matt explores how the life of faith is marked by living as strangers in this world while longing for the better country God has prepared. Together we’ll see that what believers willingly forsake for Christ will be restored beyond imagination when Christ returns, and why Jacob’s final request to be buried in the Promised Land points beyond Canaan to the hope of new creation. As Christians, we don’t merely bury our dead—we plant them in hope, trusting that what is sown in weakness will be raised in glory. This passage challenges us to live today with eternity in view, investing not in what fades, but in what has eternal value.
