The Five Ships of Opportunity: Citizenship

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 3:20

The government of Malta created a quarrel in the European Union when it announced plans to sell citizenship papers to foreigners for $888,000 per person. The small island nation -- where the apostle Paul once made an unscheduled stop (Acts 28) -- hopes to attract rich people to help boost its economy.

Paul reminded us that that our citizenship is in heaven, and it cannot be purchased. Jesus signed the necessary papers with His blood. But Paul also boasted about his Roman citizenship. In Acts 22, when he was about to be flogged, he claimed his rights as a Roman citizen. The commander said, "With a large sum I obtained this citizenship." Paul responded, "But I was born a citizen" (verse 28).

As Christians we have dual citizenship -- citizens of both heaven and our various nations on earth. That gives us the opportunity of sharing Christ with the world. Let's pray for our leaders, pay our taxes, stand up for our rights, and be the best citizens we can be while traveling through this world to the heavenly kingdom to which we belong.

Christians have a dual citizenship -- on earth and in heaven -- and our citizenship in heaven ought to make us better people here on earth.
