Abimelech came from Gerar to see Isaac. He brought with him Ahuzzath, his advisor, and Phicol, the commander of his army. Isaac asked, “Why have you come to see me? You were not friendly to me before. You even forced me to leave your country.” They answered, “Now we know that the LORD is with you. We think that we should make an agreement. We want you to make a promise to us. We did not hurt you; now you should promise not to hurt us. We sent you away, but we sent you away in peace. Now it is clear that the LORD has blessed you.” So Isaac gave a party for them. They all ate and drank. Early the next morning each man made a promise and a vow. Then the men left in peace.

Jesus said that believers are in the world but not of the world. People want to be recognized and appreciated by others, and for this reason Christians often feel uncomfortable about “being different”. The Bible shows us our true status: we are not excluded from the world but rather included in the people of God. Our mission is to invite others to be part of this people. We will see from the lives of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph how life as a stranger and pilgrim can be blessed by the Lord and be of blessing to others.
