John 17:15-19

I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but that you keep them safe from the evil one.  They do not belong to the world just as I do not belong to the world.  Set them apart in the truth; your word is truth.  Just as you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.  And I set myself apart on their behalf, so that they too may be truly set apart.

Jesus is praying for His disciples, and those who would come to believe in Him. Jesus prays for us to live in this world, but to live remembering that we do not belong to the world. We are set apart as Christ was set apart: set apart in the truth of God's Word. We have been sent by Jesus Christ into the world to live transformed and restored by the love of God. If you have ever felt like you don't belong to this world, please know that you are feeling the truth of God touch your heart. The truth is, we don't belong to the world, we belong with Jesus living eternally in heaven. He has called us to live in this world with courage and compassion, and has appealed to the Father on our behalf! He has blessed us and goes with us as we live for God.
