Consecrate them in the truth

My Sunday Scripture 2009.5.24

And now I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, while I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are. When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely. I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.
Saint John 17:11-19.

My Reading Notes:
-----------------


I have found it difficult to understand. Jesus has consecrated himself for us.
and he meant consecrated us in truth. Is it that he has given us truth?

Yes.

Jesus has come to the world. He had guarded us against the son of destruction.
and He has given us the truth. In my understanding, the truth means love, or at least in the time being, it is love. We as a being on earth, the mission is to love each other. And this is what Jesus has taught us.
