Who Am I – John 10:28 – He Won’t Let Us Go

 

This is Namma for Christ with the one hundred seventy-first inspirational message dated Sunday, October 4th, 2020. The title of this message is “Who Am I – John 10:28 – He Won’t Let Us Go”.

The first three words of the title are also the name of the below inspirational song/video, “Who Am I” (with lyrics) as sung by the Christian group – “NEEDTOBREATHE”.  The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the New Testament book of John - the twenty-eighth verse of the tenth chapter:

John 10:28

New International Version (NIV)

28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of My hand.

He Won’t Let Us Go

 

28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of My hand.  John 10:28

 

Today's Scripture & Insight:

John 10:22-30

Julio was biking across the George Washington Bridge – a busy, double-decked thoroughfare connecting New York City and New Jersey – when he encountered a life-or-death situation. A man was standing on a ledge over the Hudson River preparing to jump. Knowing that the police wouldn’t arrive in time, Julio acted quickly. He recalls getting off his bike and spreading out his arms, saying something like: “Don’t do it. We love you.” Then, like a shepherd with a crook, he grabbed the distraught man, and with the help of another passerby, brought him to safety. According to reports, Julio wouldn’t let go of the man, even after he was safe.

Two millennia earlier, in a life-or-death situation, Jesus, the Good Shepherd, said He would lay down His life to save and never let go of those who believed in Him. He summarized how He would bless His sheep: they would know Him personally, have the gift of eternal life, would never perish, and would be secure in His care. This security didn’t depend on the ability of the frail and feeble sheep, but on the sufficiency of the Shepherd who’ll never let one be snatched “out of (His) hand.” (John 10:28-29)

When we were distraught and feeling hopeless, Jesus rescued us; now we can feel safe and secure in our relationship with Him. He loves us, pursues us, finds us, saves us and promises to never let us go.
