Today we are reading John 10. In this chapter we read about Jesus teaching in Solomon’s Colonnade. “At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”” John 10:22-30 ESV In this passage Jesus clearly states that He and the Father are one. The Jews understood exactly what He meant. So, we must conclude that either He was 1) lying, 2) delusional or 3) telling the truth. Which do you believe? We believe that Jesus is God the Son. Christians are the only ones who believe this. Why is this so important? May God use you to teach the truth about Jesus. Pastor Tim
