out from our own world

When Satan tempted Jesus he offered him to have his own world.
Jesus responded with the Word of God making it clear to the enemy
that he was happy with the Father’s world.
Big cities are full of people who have created their own world.
They have chosen their own borders, rules , laws and sanctions.
These worlds are called the kingdom of darkness.
God calls us out from our own world.
When a person is healthy and financially independent he can continue
in his own world. For single people this is even a greater temptation,
because they have no responsibilities towards anyone besides themselves.
I need to forsake my own world in order to walk in the light of God.
Jesus said, ”I am the Light of the world. He who follows me shall not
walk in darkness.” Jh.8:12
Is it possible to be a believer and not follow him?
Yes, look at the easy, fit for the world Christianity that we have
created. It is full of people who have chosen to keep their own world
and still try to be interested in the will of God.
Just because the lights are turned on, there’s no guarantee that one
will be looking at the right thing.
Fellowship in his light is that city up on the hill that the world needs
to see.
People sought Jesus. They were willing to make an effort to find him.
The Pharisees were accusing one another saying that the whole world
is running after him. Jh 12:19
What a great scene, to see people leave their own world and fall in love
with the will of God.
