"I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one" (John 17:14-15).
There are at least three amazing kindnesses from Jesus here. First, he give us God's word. How wonderful it is to receive the truth, wisdom, instruction, and gospel of God. We have it in Holy Scripture and in the person of the Holy Son of God himself. The word of the Father, given us by the Son, and illuminated by the Holy Spirit.
Second, Jesus identifies with us here. Again, he tells his disciples the world will hate them. as they live by his word, the unbelieving way of thinking, living, and desiring that permeates human nature and society will be offended by them. They will be a scandal to it. But here Jesus offers encouragement saying his disciples are like him in this way. What honor is given to men to associate with the Lord like this.
Third, Jesus prays for us. The mighty Christ prays that his Father will keep us from the evil one. It is a great comfort and wonder that sinners like me would be mentioned in the prayers of the Sinless One. Of course, one day we will be out of this world and in heaven with him. But for now we have his word, he is our friend, and he prays for us.
