Portion For Reading John 10:22-30And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
The men had a question for Jesus that was bothering them. They wanted to know if Jesus was the Christ, the "anointed One" of God, and they wanted a simple "yes" or "no" answer. Jesus told them plainly that he was and the works of healing and other miracles he had performed were proof that God had sent him.
Jesus explained that his followers understood the truth of what he told them. Jesus said he would give eternal life to those that believed in him. I would think that would have made them glad -- imagine being able to live forever because you trust Jesus as your Savior! But his words made these men angry because Jesus made himself equal with God. When Jesus said he was the Son of God they did not believe him.
Today the claims that Jesus made then are still true, because no man in this world have ever claimed to be God other than Jesus, he says that I'm the Truth the Way and Life. He is the Son of God. He is the Savior. We must choose if we will walk with Jesus or not. I hope you will choose a life of walking with Jesus. Let us dedicate ourselves to worship Jesus as our Savior and to follow him.
Let's pray. Dear Lord Jesus, Help me to follow you and walk with you every day. Amen.
