“I do not ask that you take them out of the world
but that you keep them from the Evil One.
They do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world.
Consecrate them in the truth.
Your word is truth.
As you sent me into the world,
so I sent them into the world.
And I consecrate myself for them,
so that they also may be consecrated in truth.”

Jesus’s words today give the disciples their marching orders and their power. Let us also be consecrated in the truth that Jesus gave us this day. So we may do His work, speak words as He would, help others as He would, love others as He would. This day I pray Amen.
