Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me. But you do not believe, because you are not My sheep, as I said to you. 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. I and My Father are one.” (John 10:24-30)
From this text, we can clearly see the picture of how God the Father in complete harmony with His Son, Christ the Lord, have a united purpose in the way we are chosen as believers, and because we are a part of His kingdom, we have a security that is second to none. For no one can steal anything from God. What constitutes as a disqualifying factor in a person’s life is unbelief. Note the way they phrased their question to Jesus, “If You are the Christ” No doubt this is Satan talking through them, because this is exactly how he questioned Jesus when He was led by the Spirit in the desert to be tested after fasting fourty days and was hungry. This was right before Jesus would start His public ministry. The Third Person involved to give us ultimate victory is the Holy Spirit who draws us to Him. Few things are more important for a follower of Christ to consider than the attitude of the Lord Christ to the written Word of God. Jesus saw the events of His life as the fufillment of Scripture. {And the Scripture cannot be be broken v.35}
Beloved friend, stay steadfast in your walk with Lord, for no one metaphorically robbers or wolf, can steal us away from God. For you are in His grip!
May the Lord bless your walk today!
