John 17:16

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 17:16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

"They are of another race: they are swayed by other motives, they have another life; they have another destiny; ‘They are not of the world.’" Is that true of you, dear hearer? We are reading out of God’s Book, remember. This is the description of Christ’s people; does it describe you? "They are not of the world: "they are not worldly, they are other-worldly; their thoughts and hearts are set upon the world to come".
