The Snatch

One of the basic movements in CrossFit is the snatch. I think it is a fun movement becasue it is fast and makes the athlete feel strong. Here is a video demonstrating the barbell power snatch.

The first time I heard "snatch" was to be in a WOD I thought of John 10:28

"And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand."

This verse means that once someone has realized their sin, a need for Jesus to be their Saviour, and believe in the Lord as your Saviour then no one can "snatch" or take you from God. That is because you will have eternal life in Him and will forever be part of God's family. That is assurance, that we are safe in God's Hand and although Satan and the world can bother us, no one can snatch or take us away from God and His love.
