Jesus Prays for the Preservation of His Disciple:
There are three significant elements in the prayer that Jesus prayed for His disciples, as recorded in John 17:9-19.
The first is the recognition that these men had been selected by God and they belonged to God.
The second is the request for unity among these men, the same unity shared between the Father and the Son.
The third is the petition of protection for the twelve disciples.
All of Jesus' final instructions recorded in the preceding chapters were then sealed by this prayer.
We must pray too for ours and others' preservation today............
