As I have lived in the US for years as a Resident Alien (that is my official residency status) I have always had a fondness for this text, especially for verse 19: "Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household..."
I am always delighted to hear God say, "Martin, you are no longer a foreigner or an alien...you are one of the family...welcome home!"
God has love for the outsiders...God welcomes all into the family!!

Such a wonderful reminder that in these times when some try to misuse Jesus to build 'walls', we have received the promise that Jesus is a 'bridge' of salvation, forgiveness and love, always open to everyone.
Interesting to know.
