In today's Gospel reading from John 10, Jesus said to the Jews, "My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father's hand. The Father and I are one." Decades back as I was studying nuclear engineering, I learned how to calculate the critical mass needed to sustain the process of nuclear fission using a mathematical equation, I felt I'd learned a great secret. But this is nothing compared to what Christ has revealed to us here—follow him and we are assured of receiving eternal life no one can take away from us.
