My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.
–Â John 10:27-30
Jesus’ words remind us that relationship, not religion, is the heart of faith. “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. Hearing Christ means recognizing his guidance and responding with trust; because he gives eternal life, our hope is not temporary but secure. The image of being held, no one can pluck them out of my hand or my Father’s hand, assures us that our salvation rests in the unbreakable love of the Father and the Son, who are one in purpose and power. Let that truth steady your heart today. You are known, kept, and led by the Good Shepherd.
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, help me to hear your voice above the noise and to follow you with simple, obedient trust. Thank You and praise You for the gift of eternal life and for holding us safe in Your hands Father God. Strengthen my faith so I may live confidently in Your love and care. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Amen.
