Sojourning
Topical Encyclopedia
Definition and Context
Sojourning refers to the act of residing temporarily in a place that is not one's permanent home. In the biblical context, sojourning often involves living in a foreign land or among people who are not one's kin. This concept is significant throughout the Scriptures, as it reflects themes of faith, trust in God, and the transient nature of earthly life.

Old Testament References
The concept of sojourning is introduced early in the Bible with the patriarchs. Abraham is perhaps the most notable sojourner. God called him to leave his homeland and journey to a land He would show him.Genesis 12:1-2 states, "Then the LORD said to Abram, 'Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.'"

Abraham's life as a sojourner is further emphasized inGenesis 23:4 , where he describes himself as "a foreigner and a stranger among you" when negotiating for a burial site for Sarah. This acknowledgment of his status as a sojourner underscores his reliance on God's promises rather than earthly possessions.

The Israelites' sojourn in Egypt is another significant example. Initially welcomed during Joseph's time, their status changed to that of oppressed sojourners, leading to their eventual exodus.Exodus 12:40-41 records, "Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years. At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt."

New Testament References
In the New Testament, the theme of sojourning is spiritualized, reflecting the Christian's journey through life. The Apostle Peter addresses believers as "foreigners and exiles" in1 Peter 2:11 , urging them to abstain from sinful desires. This language highlights the temporary nature of earthly life and the call to live in a manner that reflects one's heavenly citizenship.

The Epistle to the Hebrews also speaks to the concept of sojourning, particularly inHebrews 11, which recounts the faith of the patriarchs.Hebrews 11:9-10 states, "By faith he [Abraham] dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God."

Theological Significance
Sojourning in the Bible is a metaphor for the believer's life on earth. It emphasizes the transient nature of earthly existence and the call to live by faith, trusting in God's promises. The sojourner's journey is marked by reliance on God, a forward-looking hope for a heavenly homeland, and a life that reflects the values of God's kingdom.

The biblical narrative of sojourning encourages believers to view their earthly life as a temporary passage, with their true citizenship in heaven. This perspective fosters a sense of detachment from worldly concerns and a focus on spiritual growth and eternal priorities.
