"...And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you..." Jesus saying how his church remains "in the world"
In his extended prayer (John 17) Jesus reveals a key concept: just as God was present in the world through Jesus, so also, Jesus will continue to be present in the world through his Church. In John 17:13-17, Jesus says that his Church will be in the world, but not of it.
