Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Gift of Eternal Life” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed, “For the sheep that belongs to Me, I give them Eternal Life; they will never be lost.” Ponder on, “Jesus’ assurance of His Gift of Eternal Life, is a spiritual consolation that reminds us not to take His Divine Gift for granted. We are to nurture it with fidelity, courage and humility.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 10:22-30
It was the time of the feast of Dedication in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the Temple walking up and down in the Portico of Solomon. The Jews gathered round him and said, ‘How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us openly.’
Jesus replied: ‘I have told you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name are my witness; but you do not believe, because you are no sheep of mine. 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.’
