John 17:12, “While I
was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou
gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of
perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.”
As we “let the Scripture speak,” what can we learn from this
verse?
2. Christ has kept all the Father has given Him in time and will
for eternity. None are lost that have been given to the Son [John 6:37 -40; 10:25 -30].
3. If it appears they lost it, it is really because they never had
it and were not given to the Son by the Father “All the Father has given
me.”
4. Judas was never given to the Son by the Father [John 6:70-71;
Ps. 41:9; 109:8; Acts 1:20 ].
