"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 26 October 2011"
Today's Bible Verses: John 10:27-30: My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able them out of My Father's hands. I and My Father are one."
Wow what a statement by our Lord confirming His deity that indeed He and the Father are one. In these verses Jesus described three characteristics of his sheep (1) They hear His voice. He knows them (2) They follow Him. The following of the sheep is a metaphor for FAITH. Other metaphors for Faith in John's Gospel include "drinking water" (4:14), eating bread (6:50,51), eating flesh and drinking blood (6:54) (3) They shall never perish. Our eternal life's as Christians can never be taken away. The Father's hand is more powerful than that of any enemy.
Verse 28 teaches us as Christians that through God we have a eternal security in which God is able to complete the good work of eternal life that He has began in every believer. The eternal security of the believer is guaranteed by the person and work of God. He is true and just, and cannot deny Himself. Therefore anyone who has eternal life, has it forever (Amen) God promises that no one can ever be separated from His love (Romans 8:38,39).
The Christian is saved and secured by FAITH, but in love and gratitude to Christ will seek to faithfully serve Him. In verse 30 Jesus said that, "I and the Father are one." Jesus is God. This was a clear claim by Jesus of His deity. The Jewish religious leaders understood exactly what He meant and were ready to stone Him for blasphemy.
Are you like me longing for His second coming and saying as John in the last words of the Book of Revelation "Even so, come, Lord Jesus." If you are reading this writing and you are not a Christian you can be saved today. The gift of Eternal Life and Salvation is free. All that is asked of you is to confess your sins to God and ask Him to come into your life and save you from your sins and unrighteousness. If you do, you will receive the Holy Spirit sent to you from Jesus to guide and teach you, and most importantly you will become a son or daughter of the Kings of kings ,and Lord of lords, and spend all eternity basking in God's Love and Mercy and Grace.
Today's Hymn: "Psalm 121"
I lift up my eyes to the hills, Where does my help come from
I lift up my eyes to the hills, Where does my help come from
My help comes from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth
I lift up my eyes to you, Whose throne is in the heaven
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit how wonderful it is to know that as Christians we have the Good Shepherd Jesus Christ whom we follow as we listen to His sweet and tender voice. May we not be deceived by wolves in sheep's clothing who try to lead us away from our Shepherd. But continue to listen to His voice that leads to us to green grass and Who gives the Living Water to drink. May we as believers worship God in spirit and truth.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Living water springs from an unfailing source and is ever flowing. That spring of Living water is Jesus Christ."
