H. A. Baker

The step to heaven after death, or at the coming of the Lord seemed so small and the coming up of Lord so near that it removed from our mind all mystery as to why the first disciples could sell their possessions and face persecution and death without wavering; our kingdom is not of this world. Our citizenship is in heaven, whence also we wait for our Saviour. Our life, our work, our service, and our hardships are only brief and passing incidents on the way to the true life, the true city in the true kingdom that cannot be shaken.
