“I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.” John 17:15 (NASB95)
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
In Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer recorded in John 17, He makes the observation that the world would hate His disciples. Yet, He follows that by praying not that His disciples would be removed from the world, but that we would be kept from the evil one.
As difficult as times have become, we Christ-followers must recognize that our God and King saved us and planted us in the world at this time intentionally. It would be an abdication of our assignment to adopt an escapist disposition. We’ve been ordained for this moment.
