Our Gospel (John 10:31-42) opens with Jews trying to stone Jesus again. It seems like someone is always trying to put him in prison or kill Him since He began His public ministry.
This time they sayHe is speaking blasphemy by claiming He is who He is. Jesus always has the best come backs and arguments because He is ALWAYS right. He uses reason and logic which just annoys people more.
In this Gospel Jesus tells us that He and God are one in the same. He is in God and God is in Him.
When we don't listen to Jesus, when we don't follow His call or obey, we are acting just like the people in this Gospel. We are basically discrediting Jesus the way they were trying to.
We want the good stuff from God without doing the work. We want forgiveness with out forgiving and we want grace and mercy without giving grace and mercy.
We completely disregard and ignore what we are taught even though we know they are right and true.
We have a choice to open our eyes and our hearts to see and know Jesus. To see and know the Son of God, the Messiah, the one who came to take on all our sins so we may live!
It's time to start paying attention and listening to Jesus.
