In Jeremiah 29, God tells His people how we are to think about our cities, how we are to relate to our cities, and what hope there is for cities. We are to think as exiles on a mission. This world is not our true home--our citizenship is in heaven--but we have work to do for God's glory and our joy. We are to relate to our cities by loving them and being for them, seeking their welfare. However, the hope of cities is not man, but Jesus, who will one day ultimately make right what we have made wrong by our sin. Because Jesus died for sin and resurrected as conqueror of sin and death, He will one day usher in a new heaven and a new earth, creating a new city where those who trust Him will dwell with Him in ultimate welfare, forever.
