John 10:22-30 - Audio

Continuing our study in John chapter 10, at verse 22 we fast forward a few months to winter, and Jesus is in Jerusalem for the Feast of Dedication--or Hannukah as we know it today. He is again talking with the Jewish leaders who want Him to plainly declare Himself as Messiah. Instead, he speaks again of sheep, and that if they were His sheep, they would know His voice. If you are one of Christ's then you hear Him and know Him, and follow Him, unlike those who don't know Him as their "good shepherd." And to be His sheep means that you are secure in Him, as He will lose none of those who are His! When he finishes, He declares that He and the Father are One, and we'll see next week that this incites the Jewish leaders to want to take violent action again.
