PRAYER FOR THE DISCIPLES TO BE KEPT

Jesus loved and cared for His Disciples! When He was on earth, He protected and kept them. But now that He was leaving the earth, He prayed that they might be kept!

“Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me,
that they may be one as We are.” 

John 17:11

2. “But these are in the world, and I come to You”

b. But the Disciples would continue to remain in the world.

3. “Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me”
