John 10:28-30 - I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” In the mid 70's there was a television show called "Kung Fu" about a young man learning that skill. Part of his training was trying to grab a pebble out of one of his teacher's hands before the teacher closed it. Eventually the young man was able to do it because he became fast enough. But Christ is saying here that not even someone like this man could snatch people out of God's hand. The only way we can leave God's hand is to jump out ourselves as so many are doing today. This is possible because he doesn't force us to be there but if we want he will keep us. (Matthew 10:22 - ...the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.-) . We all need to be in his hand so Christ will save us from our sins. https://whataboutjesus.com |
