St. John Chrysostom: Of our City the Builder and Maker is God...
If thou art a Christian, no earthly city is thine. Of our City 'the Builder and Maker is God.'
Though we may gain possession of the whole world, we are withal but strangers and sojourners in it all! We are enrolled in Heaven: our citizenship is there! Let us not, after the manner of little children, despise things that are great, and admire those which are little.
St. John Chrysostom
