BEST FOR LAST

Part 10 of 10 in Promises of God Series1

John 10:28

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand.”

This concludes the Promises of God series.

The first one urged God’s kids to tuck His promises inside our hearts, so that we remember them when life gets hard. We’re promised that not one of God’s words fails. Ten year olds Cassie and Jeremy share what they received for Christmas. Cassie admitted that some gifts she didn’t realize she needed. How many of God’s promises did you want after you learned them?

Eight year old twins Benjy and Danny showed that humans often break promises they make. But God is always with us, and keeps every promise He makes! Cassie tightened her eight year old cousin, Shakira’s ice skates, so that her feet wouldn’t wobble. This reminds us how God holds His kids securely in His righteous right hand, keeping our lives steady and secure.

Benjy played basketball with Danny at recess, after being rejected to play on a soccer team. This showed us how nothing separates God’s kids from His love, when we believe in His Son Jesus. Phillip shared his dad’s new job with his fifth grade Sunday school class after Mr. Robbins asked him to read Philippians 4:19: “My God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”

Jeremy threw a “hail Mary” football pass to classmate Brad at recess. Brad apologized after slamming into Ms. Busby, the recess monitor. Ms. Busby, like God, always forgives every confessed—or apologized—offence. But only God cleanses us from all unrighteousness! Gideon shows us how to depend on, trust in, and communicate with an invisible God—who always leads us in straight paths.

Nine year old Miguel asked for a new iPod for his birthday. His mom said his birthday would be full of as many good gifts they can afford to give. But God isn’t limited by finances. He promises that whatever His kids ask for in His will (what God determines is good for us), He gives to us.

Take Home Nugget

The opening Scripture and Isaiah 43:1b assures God’s kids whose we are, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are Mine.” The best, saved for last, guarantees us that no believer can be snatched out of Jesus’ hand. Not one will be lost. Reading the Bible reveals more God’s promises; won’t you check out the lesson, linked below?

Thank You, Father, for the super things You promise Your children. Most promises we didn’t even know enough to request! Thank You, Jesus, for not losing even one of us.
