Daily Word Of God
John 10:22-30
It was the time of the feast of Dedication in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the Temple walking up and down in the Portico of Solomon. The Jews gathered round him and said, ‘How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us openly.’
Jesus replied: ‘I have told you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name are my witness; but you do not believe, because you are no sheep of mine. The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me. I give them eternal life; they will never be lost and no one will ever steal them from my hand. The Father, for what he has given me, is greater than anyone, and no one can steal anything from the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.’
Today's Pointers on God's Word
As you read the passage what words, phases or meanings caught your attention?
- Jesus had constantly preached clearly and lived openly that He is the Truth that offers us eternal life. Yet, the Jews continued to resist Him.
- Like the Jews, it is good to ask ourselves, “Why do we resist the Truth of Jesus and what He preaches and teaches?”
- Perhaps, it is good that we confront the truth courageously today and ask ourselves, “What is the reason for our unwillingness to live the Truth that Jesus preaches and teaches?” Ask Jesus for the graces you need to be open to His Truth and to live it daily.
