This morning I was working on a study Design For Discipleship. I am required to complete this prior to serving on the weekly "Master Mentor Ministry" at the Sumter County jail. Two questions in the section "The Deity of Jesus Christ" really spoke to me, especially in light of similar discussions we've had in our weekly Monday night classes. "What does Jesus promise to those who follow him" and "How does that make you feel?" What I love about the Bible is that it provides all the answers for us!!!
John 10:27-30 tells us that Jesus said "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can 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."
I love knowing that NO ONE can snatch me away from Jesus, once I chose to follow Him. He will never tire of me - He will never let me go - someone better will not come along to replace me - I am His forever and ever and ever.
I feel GRATEFUL, BLESSED, WANTED, LOVED, JOYFUL, FANTASTIC, FABULOUS (and the list goes on). How does this make YOU feel???
