John 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
When Jesus was lifting up His prayers to God, He described the disciples as being ‘not of this world.’
This is a label all Christians should strive for – to be known as a person who is not worldly, not consumed by the world and peer pressure but always praising God.
Jesus wanted the disciples to be absolutely safe. Ne way would be for them to go to heaven immediately, but instead He asks for God’s protection while they are on earth.
This protection covers us all because of this prayer asked for from Jesus!
