Bible Commentary

John 17:11

Jesus asks the Holy Father to guard disciples who remain amid danger and to unite them. Divine keeping does not guarantee freedom from physical harm; unity never requires unsafe access or silence about wrongdoing.

Memory phrase: Keep them in unity

Talk about it: How can unity include safety, truth, and difference?

Prayer: Jesus, help me receive your prayer with truth, hope, and safety.
