"HE STILL SPEAKS"!


John 10:22-31   (KJV)
"And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.  And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.  Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.  Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:   And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.  My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.  I and my Father are one.  Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him."

"The Jews" claimed to have a desire to know The CHRIST.  They even said "How long dost thou make us to doubt?".  But, they only wanted to know the Christ they were searching for.  

As I wrote yesterday, Their minds were fixed on who they thought HE was, rather than who HE demonstrated HE was!  The Jews had the Real CHRIST right in front of them and they didn't even know it! They couldn't "hear" or "see" HIM (Matt 13:15).  

In v. 27 JESUS says "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them".  UThere is nothing as sweet as when one "hears" from HIM.  No, I have not ever audibly heard the voice of GOD.  But my Spirit hears from HIM with regularity.  There is nothing comparable to knowing when you have heard from The CREATOR!   

There is a song named "HE still speaks"!  I am posting the YouTube link for your enjoyment: http://youtu.be/7mVmi22CtJE
