WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
John 10:27–28
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 will snatch them out of my hand.
LEADER TAKEAWAY
Belonging to an organization or performing religious service is not what gives eternal life. Jesus describes eternal life as something He gives to those who belong to Him and follow Him.
TRY SAYING
“Being part of a faith community and sharing what you believe can both be meaningful, but Jesus says that He is the One who gives eternal life. What do you notice about where the emphasis falls in this passage?”
