Security Issues

“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.” (John 10:27-28)
Scripture Focus: John 10:22-30

Checking in at an airport can be inconvenient and frustrating. Security lines can be long and slow. Nevertheless, the security screening is absolutely necessary to keep us safe in the skies.

It was a random luggage search that led to my being escorted to a small room at an airport. A security employee opened my suitcase and carefully inspected every item in it. She even took my Bible out and flipped through its pages before returning it. Then she closed the suitcase and told me I would see it again at my destination. I didn’t resent the extra time or inconvenience of the search.

Unfortunately, even the most thorough security screening can’t guarantee our safety, but it seems security personnel are committed to protecting us. They deserve our cooperation and thanks.

Jesus’ words in John 10:27-28 form a lifelong guarantee of spiritual security. Neither human being nor demonic power can wrest us from His almighty hand. We are safe today, tomorrow, and forever.

Insight: Jesus gives believers the ironclad, no loopholes, unbreakable promise that He will keep us in His grip. This promise helps us face life confidently.
