The festival of the Dedication of the temple was then celebrated in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple through Solomon's portico. The Jews, surrounding him, asked him: “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us frankly. Jesus answered them: “I have told you, and you do not believe; The works that I do in the name of my Father, those bear testimony of me. But you do not believe, because you are not one of my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me, and I give them eternal life; They will not perish forever, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
My Father, what he has given me, is greater than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. "I and the Father are one" Jn It is very reassuring for faithful Christians to know that Christ himself guards our souls. He is absolutely blun Country Email List nothing and no one can take us away. We are his property. In fact, that is the will of the Father: This is the will of him who sent me: that I lose nothing of what he gave me , but that he raise it up on the last day. John 6:39 And this is what the apostle Saint Paul teaches: For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present, nor future , nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God manifested in Christ Jesus.
Now, far from us any presumption that we have already done everything. The apostle also teaches: Therefore, he who thinks he is secure, take care not to fall . 1st Cor 10,12 Knowing, as we do, that sin separates us from God, we must also know that God himself gives us the ability to overcome it. This is what Saint Paul teaches in the verse following the one we just read: No temptation has overtaken you except in human measure. God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength , but with the temptation he will also make you find a way to be able to endure it. 1st Cor 10:13 And if we still sin gravely: ..if we confess our sins, he, who is faithful and just. _________________ Country Email List |
