Matt.8:18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side. 8:19 A scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
8:20 Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

Jesus Christ the son of God did not come to this earth to plant roots, Christ was no part of this earth he came from above. Many of us Christian's really don't get this? We understand we are to be no part of this world thinking that we don't use it to the full, but that is not Christ point here which was he had nowhere to lay his head?

1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

John 8:23 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

Luke 6:40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

Christ stated a truth, that is, a fact between the Spirit of God that indwelt him, where he was born to live, where his roots are, and those not born again, and what was that? First, let have some context which is the rest of the scriptures. Those not having God's Spirit cannot know God, it is a truth that requires God Spirit teaching us who God is? Of course we are not talking about doctrines alone, but the personality behind the truth, God's, which makes doctrine the truth!

1Cor.13:1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing. 13:3 If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.

James 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

God wants us to come to know him as truth, but what truth is that? He is love, something no written word can teach us alone. Moreover, this is why God must invite us to know him by our faith which is an act of trust God is good.

1 John 5:6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

Jude 1:19 These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit.

1 John 4:6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn't listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

1 John 4:13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

Having said that Christ came from above to give us the light of his Father personality for him to do that he could not come from below born from sin, placing roots into this world, but from above without sin explaining the Father to us. What Christ spoke, was to the ears of those born from below 180-degrees the opposite of what they thought the truth should be? However, those with faith could see the works Christ was doing for the Father, although, they themselves equally doubted stay with Christ despite their fleshly fears.

John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

John 13:7 Jesus answered him, "You don't know what I am doing now, but you will understand later."

John 10:38 But if I do them, though you don't believe me, believe the works; that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

John 8:55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I don't know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.

Human's are alienated from God because of sin, but what they fail to understand is, all that mankind has built being a sinner is not of God, it cannot be claimed as coming from God. So those born again from above can be no part of this world, nor will it work for them, because the Spirit from above is rejected by this system of things, and its rulers wicked spirit son's of God.

John 17:14 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

John 17:16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

John 17:18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

1 John 4:5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

Jesus is not saying he didn't sleep in house, or have an earthly family what he is stating is that because he was from above he must go back to where he came to be with the Father; his home was not here on earth. Christ had no castle, a seat of Government on earth, where people could follow him like all kings have. No! Christ was a king of a Spirit and truth Kingdom, and those soon to be born again would find the world does not work for them any longer either. In fact, they would find that the world would not know them, or glorify them, they would be rejected as refuses of world no value to this world. Hated by its goals and lust. But if they had faith and courage in their suffering and remember the love of the Father Christ in them would conquer the world for them.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

Matthew 10:28 Don't be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.{or, Hell.}

Luke 12:32 Don't be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

John 1:6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
1:7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
1:8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. 1:9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world. 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him. 1:11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn't receive him.
