How do we endure and thrive when we are fundamentally at odds with the world around us? That's the question Jesus answers for His disciples in John 15:18-16:33. In this text, Jesus reminds His followers that there should be something distinct about them–about us. We don't live as the world lives. Our priorities, actions, and words should set us apart. There is grief that comes with that. But God promises to be with us in it.
