No One Can Snatch You Away

I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day. 2 Timothy 1:12

“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. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:27-30

Prop: a small, but valuable object such as a gold necklace

Hold the necklace in your hand with your fist tightly balled.  Call forward a volunteer and offer to give her the necklace if she can “snatch it away” from you.  Allow her ample opportunity to snatch it away.  When she is unable to, thank her and allow her to return to her seat.  Continue with the lesson.

            When you give God your life, you can trust Him to guard it until the end.  When Jesus was on the earth, he was teaching one day and he was explaining how he took care of his followers.  He said, “…no one can snatch them out of my hand.” He also said, “…no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.”  (John 10:27-30).  When you give your soul and spirit to God, He holds you in His hand more tightly than I was holding this necklace.  No one can snatch you out of God’s hand.  You are secure and safe there.  You can trust God to keep you, both now and for all eternity.  Your life and eternity are safe with God.  No one can ever snatch you away from Him.  Trust God with your life!
