THEME: FATHER SON AND SPIRIT
John 10:27-30 NKJV
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone 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 My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.”
INSIGHT
-There was increasing resistance of the Jewish leaders, who constantly called for more and more evidence of Jesus’ claim to Messiah-ship, were about to hear the clear evidence of Christ right to the throne of Israel: “I and the Father are One.” Israel’s leaders knew this was His claim to be the Almighty God. To them this was a blasphemous and abominable statement, which was why they sought to stone Him because it was the legal, God-given punishment for such a claim from the law. Jesus told them since He does the good works of the Father, they should believe the works, saying, that they may know and believe that the “Father is in Me, and I in Him” (John 10:38). Jesus humbled Himself, laid aside His eternal glory and infinite strength for a season, and took upon Himself the form of a man. He clothed Himself in the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. He was without sin, perfect in essence and One with the Father, in character, purpose, and power. Jesus leads His sheep that they may hear His voice and follow Him. It is also a call to know Him and follow Him, with the assurance that no one will snatch them out of His hands. It is a call to everyone, every religion to hear the voice of Jesus Christ and follow Him, apart from stoning Him for blasphemy.
