Word of God, 19th October 2024
Lord, make us always listen to Your voice, which may lead us to eternity
Jn 10: 27-30 The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me. I give them eternal life; they will never be lost and no one will ever steal them from my hand. The Father, for what he has given me, is greater than anyone, and no one can steal anything from the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one. Jesus declares that those who pay attention to his voice will follow him. They will never follow the world and all of its illusory goals, but those who pay attention to Jesus' kind teachings will bear fruit. We will receive eternal life when we pay attention to the voice of the Lord and heed his kind instructions. The Lord has promised that no one can take anyone away from Jesus since we are all the property of our heavenly Father. Jesus is telling and assuring us in this way that nothing can be taken from the Father's hands. We must put our trust in Jesus and the Father because they are the One and Only God.
