John 17:15-18

John 17:15-18

I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one. They do not belong to this world any more than I do. Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth. Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world.

Jesus’ final prayer with his disciples served to remind them that those who trust in him do not belong to this world. They have a heavenly perspective that leads them to love God and others. There is nothing Satan would like more than to prevent us from doing this. How does Satan lure your focus away from eternity and onto the things of the world? Ask God to protect you from evil so you can live a holy life, spreading the Good News of his love and truth.
