“And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” John 10:28
LIGHT FOR THE
NOW: Eternal life is the greatest gift from God to
mankind.
Eternal life is neither an event nor
a feeling but it is a person and that person is Jesus Christ. The arrival of
Jesus Christ into the world was the arrival of eternal life. This is the
God-kind of life. Our text clearly makes us to understand that eternal life is
attainable only through the person of Jesus Christ. He is the source of eternal
life. No one can give what he/she does not have. Jesus is the eternal life.
John 1:4 says,” in him was life, and the
life was the light of men”. You might ask what kind of life was in him.
John 3:16 provides the answer. It reads, “For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life”. Eternal life is
synonymous with everlasting life. From the context of these two scriptures, it
is logical to say that in Jesus is eternal life or that the personality of
Jesus Christ is eternal life. The scripture in 1John 5:11 says, “And this is the record that God hath given
to us eternal life, and this life is in his son”. Eternal life is the
portion of those who believe in the name of Jesus Christ.
Our text today gives us an
assurance; that as believers, no man will be able to pluck us out of the hands
of Jesus Christ. In His hand, there is life, security and prosperity. It
therefore means that eternal life preserves you from death because your life is
hid in Christ Jesus (Colossians 3:3). Whatever cannot destroy Jesus cannot
destroy you. When you operate in this realm, you will be constantly aware of
your Believer’s Bill of Rights. Therefore, nothing and nobody has the right to
look down on you or molest you. Eternal life has the capacity to make you who
you want to be in life.
INSTRUCTION: Believe in Christ Jesus and have
eternal life.
PRAYER: Father, I receive eternal life and I have life in
abundance, in Jesus name.
QUOTE: Eternal life has the capacity to make you.
