Safe in His Arms
Dr. Darrow Perkins
John 6:36-40
Security is something that everybody likes and wants. At home, we lock our doors; we make sure our cars are locked when we get out of them, and we sometimes lock our doors when we're in our cars when we see somebody that looks suspicious.
Our world and recent events have caused us to look at security from an entirely different perspective. We've got PIN numbers on everything, you can't get on a plane without going through TSA, and that security is not 100%! I submit to you that the security they provide is only temporary and does not have the ability to really give you ''real peace of mind.''
The security I want to talk about today is that security whereby you know that all things are well in this life and the life to come. It has the ability to break through the barriers of doubt and disbelief and let us know that everything is going to be all right. It's confirmed for us when Jesus told us in John 14:1, ''Let not your hearts be troubled, if ye believe in God, believe also in me.'' It transcends time and existence to confirm for us that our living is not in vain when we know the One who is from ''everlasting to everlasting.'' Isaiah 57:15 verifies for us, ''For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity whose name is Holy; I will dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.'' A high place has the potential to keep us from hurt, harm, and danger and eternity means forever, and ever, and ever. When we know Jesus, we can know that we are Safe in His Arms.
We find ourselves in the Gospel of John. In the previous verses, Jesus had been talking to the multitude about how Moses was used by God to provide Manna for the Israelites while they were in the wilderness but goes on to tell them that God is the ''true bread'' for them, and He was talking about Himself.
