Good Morning,...Praying That You And Yours, Had A Happy Thanksgiving!! How do we enter into the muck of this world without having it cling to us and drag us down? How do we light up the world without being attracted to the less than holy enticements we may find there? Set apart to be holy, but also sent into fallen creation to be used by God in His process of redeeming others. That’s the plan.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. —John 17:16,17 (NIV)
Jesus allows us to go into the world as holy people who can reach into the darkness without being covered by it. Here’s how: His Indwelling. Jesus prayed, “I in them and You in Me” (v.23). Profound words. The Son could do His work because the Father was in Him—loving and leading Him. Jesus indwells us by the Holy Spirit.
Because of Jesus, we now have the ability to walk among sinners, as He did,
...without having to enter into sin.
To go into the world is God’s plan for us.
We are called to a “holy worldliness.” Go in Jesus’ power! —Tom Felten
