Knowing the Truth, Being Absolute for the Truth and for Upholding the Absoluteness of the Truth,
and Testifying to the Truth in the Present Age of the World – Week 1
John 17:14-21
14 I have given them Your word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
15 I do not ask that You would take them out of the world, but that You would keep them out of the hands of the evil one.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.
18 As you have sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
19 And for their sake I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
20 And I do not ask concerning these only, but concerning those also who believe into Me through their word,
21 That they all may be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that You have sent Me.
