Daily Word Of God
John 17:11b-15
Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said: ‘Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us. While I was with them, I kept those you had given me true to your name. I have watched over them and not one is lost except the one who chose to be lost, and this was to fulfil the scriptures.
‘But now I am coming to you and while still in the world I say these things to share my joy with them to the full. I passed your word on to them, and the world hated them, because they belong to the world no more than I belong to the world. I am not asking you to remove them from the world, but to protect them from the evil one.’

- In life, so long as we are willing to follow Jesus, He will definitely keep us true to ‘God’s name.’
- When we do God’s work, we will often be despised and even face humiliation and scorn.
- However, Jesus is faithful to all those who brave such experiences and He will always look after us. This is evident when He said ‘not one of them is lost.’
