Strangers and Pilgrims is a sermon teaching us that God chose each one of us for a purpose and it is through Jesus that we find worth. God is using the difficulties, trials, and persecutions in this life for His plan. As believers we become strangers and pilgrims in this world. When Jesus proclaimed, “It is finished.” while dying on the cross, the veil in the temple was torn in two and we were given direct access to God, the Holy of Holies.
