A Double-Grip of Security

Commentators like Spurgeon and Gill highlight a "double security" for believers. Jesus first states that no one can snatch them from His hand (v. 28), and then adds that no one can snatch them from His Father's hand. This provides a powerful image of assurance: the believer is held securely by both the Son and the Father.
