    Jesus Prayed | BPS6 E12

    Jesus Prayed | BPS6 E12

    John 17:11

    11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are - KJV.

    Beloved, from episodes 1 to 11 of this season of BP, we can conclude that only God has kept the Church. Incontrovertible scriptural evidence shows that Jesus asked God to keep those He gave to him, starting with the Apostolic fathers. The Church (you and I) is standing today because [1] Jesus prayed, and [2] God answered. We must, therefore, look up to Jesus alone in the open and in the closet.
