"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 10 October 2012"
Today's Bible Verse: John 10:27-30 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give then 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 to pluck them from my Father's hands. I and My Father are One."
Wow!!! What a statement by our Lord confirming His deity that He and the Father are One. In these verses, Jesus describes the three characteristics of His sheep: (1) They hear His voice (2) He knows them and (3) They follow Him. The following of sheep is a metaphor for "FAITH." Other metaphors for Faith in John's Gospel include: (1) drinking water (John 4:14), (2) eating bread (John 6:50-51), and (3) eating flesh and drinking blood (John 6:54). Our eternal life as Christians can NEVER be taken away. The Father's hand is more powerful than any enemy.
Verse 28, teaches us as Christians, that through God, we have 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 or no thing can ever separate us 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, Said, "I and the Father are One." Jesus is God. This was a clear claim of Jesus of His deity. The Jewish religious leaders understood exactly what He meant, and they were ready to stone Him for "blasphemy."
Are you like me, longing for the second Coming of Christ? Are you like me, saying alone with John in Revelation 22:20, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus?" If you are reading this writing, and you are not saved, you can be saved. The Gift of Eternal Life and the Free Gift of Salvation comes through Jesus Christ and His shed blood. All that you have to do is confess your sins to God. and Him Him to come into your life and save you, we are told in God's word that, "He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1st John 1:9). God's Words says that if you do this, that Jesus will send to you the Indwelling Power of the Holy Spirit to guide you and teach you as you pick up your Cross and follow in the footsteps of Jesus. You will also and most importantly, become a son or daughter of the King of kings, and Lord of lords, where you will spend all eternity basking in God's Love, Mercy, and Grace.
