“THE JEWS!”

 John 10:22-30                    (ESV)

I and the FATHER Are ONE

“[22] At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, [23] and JESUS was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. [24] So “THE JEWS” gathered around HIM and said to HIM, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the CHRIST, tell us plainly.” [25] JESUS answered them, “I TOLD YOU, and YOU DO NOT BELIEVE. The works that I do in MY FATHER’S NAME bear witness about ME, [26] but you do not believe because YOU ARE NOT AMONG MY SHEEP. [27] MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, and I KNOW THEM, and THEY FOLLOW ME. [28] I give them eternal life, and THEY WILL NEVER PERISH, and no one will snatch them out of MY hand. [29] MY FATHER, WHO has given them to ME, IS GREATER THAN ALL, and NO ONE IS ABLE TO SNATCH THEM OUT OF THE FATHER’S HAND. [30] I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.”

There are MANY points of emphasis in the verses of Scripture above?  But for this study I want to “plow around” the simplicity of the words “THE JEWS”!!!

In John 10:30 JESUS plainly says “I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE”!  Not because of any other reason, but we should accept the above statement as TRUTH because JESUS SAID IT!  However, there are many other sources that state that the DNA from BLOOD that JESUS shed on the cross of Calvary contains only 24 chromosomes, 23 from Mary (HIS mother) and ONE from HIS FATHER!  Humanity has 46 chromosomes, so there is PROOF if you CHOOSE TO BELIEVE (John 10:25-26)!!

That verse might be difficult to understand for some, but when YOUR EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED (Luke 24:31) your perspective TOTALLY changes!!  “THE JEWS”, written about in the above verses, eyes had not been opened!!  Apparently they weren’t CHOSEN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD (Ephesians 1:4) and they could not SEE Divinity walking through their midst!!

There are times when there are TRUTHS that I am currently unable to SEE!  My EYES are able to SEE, but they are unable to precisely SEE what is occurring right before me?  But being able to SEE that JESUS IS THE CHRIST has been made abundantly clear to me, even though I am not apart of the sect of humanity known as “THE JEWS”!!!
