John 10:22-42 || Sermon 02/04/24

Jesus is in Jerusalem during Hanukkah walking in the temple when the Jews ask Him; “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

This begins another conversation with Jesus explaining that He has told them plainly and that those who are ‘His sheep’ listen, follow, and cannot ever be snatched away from His hand. 

The Jews understand Jesus’ direct claim to be God and determine to execute judgement upon Him for blasphemy. If Jesus wasn’t who He claimed to be, their judgement would be just. But Jesus is who He claims to be.

To prepare for this week’s message read and reflect upon John 10:22-42
