What did Jesus mean when he said that he and the disciples were not of this world?

Jesus came from Heaven, from above, and His disciples chose to follow him, knowing that they would suffer, but that they would have an eternal reward in Heaven, thus they wouldn't be of this world either.
====Another Thought====
Scripture says that those who are born again are a "new creation in Christ Jesus." Scripture also says that believers in Christ are citizens of heaven.
Jesus is making a fundamental statement that there are two classes of men and women, those who are of this world and those who are not. Much, much more is wrapped up in this concept and would take more room than is offered here. Suffice it to say that Christ declares Himself and His followers "not of this world." To get a better feel for this divide, read the book of John, chapter 17. In fact, read John 15:18 through John 17:26.
