The Grands Letter (John/GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on August 28, 2021 7:06 am (CST)Dear Grands,
John 10:27-30, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;
28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
29 “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
30 “I and the Father are one.”
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple. People had gathered about Him and were asking Him who He was. Just say it, they said to Him, Say it clearly. He had indeed told them plainly that He was the Christ. They just would not believe!
It’s much like that today. He speaks through His Word, the Holy Scriptures; yet, many will not listen. And many of those who do listen will not believe. He speaks through His ministers –pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and other ordinary Christian people—yet they will not believe.
Yet, to those who do believe, He gives eternal life –life that has knows no death; life that has true meaning; life of love and concern for others, even ignoring its own well-being as it cares for others. The Father has given us His Son. The Son gave His life on the Cross that we all might be saved. But we have to believe upon the Son in order to be saved. Have you believed upon Him?
Heartily in Christ Jesus,
(Dado III)
