Start Crashing Into Things

John 10     ²⁸ I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 

<sup>It's been a long time since I played video games with my boys, but I remember playing Mario Karts with them and the fun it is to gain invincibility.  It's always way too short before it wears off, but while I have it I'm driving full speed crashing into everything!  

In so many places the Bible reassures us that if we have Christ...or another way to say it, if He has us...we're invincible.  Of course our body isn't, but our soul is safe because God promises us eternal life if we believe in Jesus.  The other part to this is that God doesn't just make a promise (and God can't lie- Titus 1:2.)  God backs up the promise, He is "greater than all."  This is important because there are times that we make promises and although you may be a person of incredible character you aren't all-powerful.  So, if you promise to pick up your kid after practice but you get in an accident along the way you end up failing to fulfill your promise.  God is a God of unimpeachable character and infinite power.  He'll never say, "well I fully intended to fulfill my promise but something came up that I just couldn't control."

If you have Christ in you, your sins are forgiven and you will live eternally after this life ends.  You're invincible!  So, step on the gas and start crashing into things...live a life that embraces faith - risks!</sup>
