Let's Dive Into John 17:6-19!

ASK: Let's talk about it together!
Why do you think Jesus prayed for His disciples specifically before His arrest and crucifixion?
What do you think it means that Jesus says His followers "do not belong to the world"?
Jesus asks God to protect His disciples and keep them united. Why do you think unity mattered so much to Him?
How does it feel to know that Jesus prayed for His followers, even before you were born?

ACTIVITY: Let's jump into this Outdoor (or, Indoor) Challenge!
Sit outside together in a circle and take turns praying a short prayer for someone else in the family. Talk about how Jesus prayed for His disciples out of love and care. Finish by naming one way your family can stay united this week.
Let's close in prayer! Use this one, or say your own together.
Dear God, thank You that Jesus prayed for us. Help us live in truth and stay united in Your love. Amen.
