Jesus said to his disciples: “If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. Remember the word I spoke to you, ‘No slave is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.” —John 15:18-21

Christ chose you first. Outside of time and space, it was not some randomness that at your conception, God had some purpose for you and placed you in this moment for that reason. You were not chosen to be of the world, but to show the world that this life is but a moment. He chose you to show the world that a greater life awaits those who belong to Christ and the Father who sent Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.
