John 17:15. “Keep them from the evil.” God’s glory is more fully displayed by keeping us from evil here, then crowning us with glory there. The words, “keep them”, is the point of the whole prayer. Keep them in spiritual conflicts [Eph.6:11-12]. Keep them from humiliating failures in service [Mk.14:20]. Keep them in bodily suffering. Keep them in the burden of self [Rom.7:24]. Keep them from all spiritual hurt [Ps.121:7].
