Tuesday Gathering: The World
I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one. John 17:14-15
What is “the world”? Does the world, whatever it is, really hate disciples? Is this the source of the famous misquote “you are in the world but not of it”?
