FROM THE MESSAGE

A theme of this passage is that God’s people are distinct from the rest of the world. It begins here: Rachel and Leah say, “We are outsiders” or your version may say “strangers.” They felt it emotionally, but it’s a reminder to us of something that is true, spiritually. If you are born again, you are no longer a citizen of this earth. You are a stranger, an outsider, an alien to the unbelieving world. In 1 Peter and Hebrews we are identified as strangers and sojourners on earth. If that sounds like a lonely life, being a stranger to the world, be encouraged that Christianity does not end in exile.
