A Sobering Truth
Text: John 10: 26-28
A SOBERING TRUTH
The doubts that the Jews had could not be blamed on Jesus! The reason why they did not believe was plainly stated.
“But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. 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.”
John 10:26-28

a. This was obvious.
b. The Jews had rejected Jesus.
c. They kept opposing Him in every way possible.
2. “Because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you”

A WONDERFUL TRUTH
Jesus spoke to all who listened to Him in Solomon’s Porch. These would include His disciples and all who would come to believe in Him as the Christ.

b. Features highlighted:
i. The true sheep will hear and recognize the voice of their Shepherd.
ii. Jesus knows His sheep intimately.
iii. They would always follow Him as their faithful and beloved Shepherd.
2. Three special promises were given to His beloved sheep

Jesus the Christ has power supreme. This power was evidenced in the way He cast out demons and the way He performed His miracles. No one would be able to snatch His sheep from His hand.

一个严肃的事实
犹太人的疑念不能怪罪在耶稣身上!他们不信的理由在以下经节明显陈述。
“只是你们不信,因为你们不是我的羊。我的羊听我的声音,我也认识他们,他们也跟着我。我又赐给他们永生,他们永不灭亡,谁也不能从我手里把他们夺去。”
