Bible Commentary

John 10:28

Jesus promises eternal life and secure belonging to his sheep; Christian traditions differ over how this relates to perseverance, and it is not a promise against earthly injury or death.

Memory phrase: held in Jesus' hand

Talk about it: What does Jesus give, and what can no one do?

Prayer: Jesus, thank you for eternal life and secure belonging.
