HE ASKED THE FATHER TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOU

Saturday, March 07, 2009

"They are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me...While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me" (John 17:11-12). (Emphasis mine)

The word protect in Greek means "to watch, guard, keep an eye on." The one who prayed this verse said, "Two thousand years ago I asked the Father to keep an eye on you!"

Wow! Two thousand years ago, Jesus prayed for me in the garden. Two thousand years ago, He asked the Father to keep an eye on me.
