Jesus promises eternal life!

A cell phone

Scripture

John 10:22-30

Does anyone know what a guarantee is? (Give kids time to respond.) It’s a promise, usually that if something breaks or stops working, a company will fix it. Can anyone think of something that comes with a guarantee? (Give kids time to respond.) Many things come with a guarantee. Refrigerators, cars, TVs, houses, even cell phones. (Hold up your cell phone.) That’s because all of these things have a tendency to break, get lost, or stolen. 

Wouldn't it be great if something was guaranteed to last forever—and was guaranteed that you couldn't lose it and nobody could steal it? Well, there is!

Jesus promised everlasting life to those who trust and believe in Him. Listen to His guarantee.

"My sheep hear My voice; I know them and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never die!"

Nothing can take us out of Jesus’ hand. It is guaranteed that no one can steal His trust or break His promise.

Jesus said, "No one can snatch them out of My hand."

Imagine eternal life that you can't lose and no one can take away. That's a guarantee no one can match.

Dear Father, we thank You for Your guarantee of everlasting life through Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
