Our Home

By Sir Matthew Hale

Our Home.—Our home, our country, is Heaven, where there are no sorrows, nor fears, nor troubles; this world is the place of our travel and pilgrimage, and, at the best, our inn.

In my Father's house there are mansions, many mansions, instead of an inn; and my Saviour himself hath not disdained to be my harbinger; he is gone before me, to prepare a place for me. I will therefore, content myself with the inconveniences of my short journey, for my accommodations will be admirable when I come to my home, that heavenly Jerusalem, which is the place of my rest and happiness.—Sir Matthew Hale.
