No serán destruidas nunca, y nadie las arrebatará de mi mano (Juan 10:28).
En Jerusalén, durante la fiesta de la Dedicación, Jesús les dijo a sus adversarios: “Ustedes no creen, porque no son de mis ovejas. Mis ovejas escuchan mi voz, y yo las conozco, y ellas me siguen. Y yo les doy vida eterna” (Juan 10:26-28). ¿Estaba pensando Jesús solo en la vida celestial, o también en la vida eterna en la Tierra? Poco antes, Jesús había consolado a sus discípulos con estas palabras: “No teman, rebaño pequeño, porque su Padre ha aprobado darles el reino” (Luc. 12:32). Pero en la fiesta de la Dedicación dijo: “Tengo otras ovejas, que no son de este redil; a esas también tengo que traer” (Juan 10:16). Por lo tanto, cuando habló con sus adversarios, Jesús se refirió tanto a la esperanza de vida celestial que tiene el “rebaño pequeño” como a la esperanza de vida en la Tierra que tienen millones de “otras ovejas”.

They will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.—John 10:28.
At the Festival of Dedication in Jerusalem, Jesus told his opposers: “You do not believe, because you are none of my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give them everlasting life.” (John 10:26-28) Was Jesus speaking only of life in heaven, or did he also have in mind eternal life in an earthly paradise? Jesus had recently comforted his followers with the words: “Have no fear, little flock, because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32) At the time of this same Festival of Dedication, however, Jesus said: “I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also I must bring.” (John 10:16) Hence, when Jesus spoke to those opposers, his words included both the hope of heavenly life for the “little flock” and the hope of everlasting life on earth for millions of “other sheep.”
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
