John 17:9 I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.
As a human man, Jesus lifted up His prayers to God just as we should. He did not pray for the world and all the sin of the world but for all of us who were destined for Heaven.
Jesus’ ministry was to seek and to save the lost but he also knew that the found needed caring for always.
Just because we are saved from our sin debt does not mean that we can be ignored by our God. He cares for us and wants to keep us safe from all things.
Let us lift each other up in prayer knowing what Christ has done for us many years ago.
