These things preserved for us in the Word of God will cause us to live differently from those whose home is this world – if we are indwelt with His Spirit. Jesus was taken outside the camp to be sacrificed for us; we are called to go to Him, outside the camp. We have no eternal city here, inside the camp of the world. As the disciples of Jesus went back into the city to carry on their lives and witness for the Lord, so we maintain our presence in this world, the city of man, to carry on our lives in honor of the One who gave Himself for us, doing good to all – especially those within the household of faith.
