Passage: John 17:14-19
In John 17:14-19, Jesus prays the night before the cross: not that his disciples would be removed from the world, but that they’d be kept from the evil one, sanctified in the truth, and sent into the world. This message explores what it means to be “not of the world,” how God actually makes us holy, and why Jesus sends ordinary people into hard places—because he goes before us and with us.
