Sermon Outlines for Funerals (John 10:27–30))
My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”
People have always believed in life after death
Earliest man buried weapons with the deceased
Indians were said to bury a brave on his horse
Pharaoh’s treasure and slaves were buried with him
People have always longed for eternal life
Explorers sought the “Fountain of Youth”
Science explores the secrets of life
Jesus promised eternal life to those who believe
How Does One Come to Have Eternal Life?
Not by simply believing in God—James 2:19
You believe that God is one. Good! Even the demons believe—and they shudder.
Not by belonging to some church
Not by observing religious rituals
Jesus pointed to Himself—John 11:25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live.
Life is imparted by the person of Jesus—John 10:28
I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand.
Jesus said: “He that believeth in me”
Belief is not merely approval
Belief is trusting Him more than anything else
We Have Every Hope for the Deceased
Not because of certain externals
Not because the person was a church member
Not because the person observed rites and rituals
Because the person’s trust was in the person of Jesus
