Summary
Today we continue our week on Jesus’s High Priestly prayer by exploring the topic of sanctification. What does it mean to be in the world but not of the world? What does sanctification look like played out in our lives practically? Often the concept of being sanctified is daunting and a bit intimidating. But today God wants to clear up our common misconceptions and help us enter this process with joy. Open your heart to the kindness of Jesus and allow him to give you rest.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 17:14-19, and today's worship is Give Us Clean Hands by Passion Music.
Thanks so much for listening to today’s podcast.
I hope you’re enjoying the podcasts so far this week as we’re unpacking Jesus’ High Priestly prayer together. Today as you go out, know that the Lord is sanctifying you out of his love for you, remaking you in his image, that you could enjoy life as it was meant to be lived.
We’ve got two more days of looking at this wonderful passage in John 17 together. I hope the end of this week will enrich and bless you life. May God bless you as you seek him today.

| 0:36.1 | First 15 podcast. There is a level of freedom |
| 0:42.2 | from sin in Christ that most of us in the body have yet to reach. Jesus prayed, I have given them |
| 0:48.6 | 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 they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask |
| 0:56.1 | that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not |
| 1:01.4 | of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in truth. Your word is truth, |
| 1:07.4 | as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world, and for their sake |
| 1:12.2 | I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth, John 17, 14 through 19. Jesus declares |
| 1:21.1 | a truth about you and me that we have yet to walk in fully, that our sanctification is linked |
| 1:27.2 | to his consecration. He declares that we are |
| 1:30.4 | not of the world just as he is not, that he has sent us into the world as he was sent, and prays |
| 1:36.9 | that we would be sanctified in the truth. For too long we have sat idle with the incredible |

| 1:52.7 | we are transformed from being of the world, or of the conditions and brokenness of the world, |
| 1:58.0 | to being given a new nature and new identity of righteousness and |
