How does Jesus' prayer for His disciples relate to us today?

In John 17, Jesus not only prays for His immediate disciples but also for all who will believe through their message. This is a profound assurance that Christ intercedes for us even today. The very fact that He prays for our protection and unity shows His deep concern for our well-being as we navigate a hostile world. Believers can take comfort in knowing that through Christ’s ongoing intercession, we are sustained in our faith and safeguarded against the evil one. This truth emphasizes the relational aspect of our faith and the reality that we are not alone in our struggles but have a Savior who is with us and for us.
