John 10:27-29
NKJV
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 to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
*** “IN CHRIST” PEOPLE HEAR JESUS. ***
*** PICTURE A SHEPHERD CALLING HIS FLOCK TO COME EAT AND DRINK. ***
*** PICTURE HIM CALLING THEM TO GATHER AROUND HIM BECAUSE OF A HUNGERY WOLF IN THE AREA. ***
*** PICTURE HIM LEADING THEM INTO A NEW FIELD WITH PLENTY OF FOOD AND FRESH WATER. ***
*** HE KNOWS EACH ONE IN THE FLOCK VERY GOOD, BY NAME AND PERSONAL EMOTIONAL MAKEUP. ***
*** THINK OF SOMEONE OR SOMETHING TRYING TO SNATCH ONE OF THE SHEEP FROM THE “GOOD SHEPHERD “. ***
*** THE FATHER GOD HIMSELF GAVE JESUS THE SHEEP TO CARE FOR. ***
*** THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN ALL; AND
NO ONE IS ABLE TO SNATCH YOU OUT OF HIS HAND. ***
*** DO YOU HEAR JESUS SPEAKING TO YOU? DOES HE KNOW YOU PERSONALLY?
DO YOU FOLLOW HIM? ***
"THE place for you to grow in grace."
