Scripture -
Text - (NIV84) “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”
Topic - The Good Shepard Part 2
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
Theme - There is a criterion for being a disciple and nationality, church membership or being disciplined have nothing to do with it.
Discipleship is built on Listening to the voice of Jesus, being known by Him, and following Him
INTRODUCTION
These eleven verses present two very clear ideas.
The first is the division between the Jews and the second is Jesus ability to see to the heart of the questions asked and get past the words to the heart.
Jesus has taught the people consistently, provided many miracles and still they will not believe.
Most of this is not because Jesus is hard to understand but because He calls for belief/faith in Him.
logic, teaching or miracles alone will not produce faith.
The can lean to reliance on the Christ but faith is mostly about accepting what is said and done that points to it being truth.
Sadly we live in a world where all truth is thought to be relative to each individual.
It is my truth whether you see it as truth or not.
Unfortunately that is not truth that is shirking of responsibility to do what is right so I can do and believe what I want.
Even after Jesus has declared that He is of the same essence as the Father they will nor accept the truth but prefer to stone Him.
We are so very afraid of the truth because we fear it will mean great change or make us decide.
It is easier to keep on as we are than to seek the way with the Master.

Analysis
I. V. 19-21 Division
10:19 Problem - At these words
People - The Jews
Act - were again divided
This looks back to the previous verse where Jesus says The authority to lay down His life and pick it up again came from "My Father" This has already happened in Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10:19.
:20 Number - Many of them said,
Quote - "He is demon-possessed
AND
raving mad.
Question - Why listen to Him?"
If you cannot disprove what your opponent says accuse and discount.
:21 People - others said
Quote - "These are not the sayings of a man possessed by
a demon
Question - Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
Evidence from actual actions not just accusation or emotion.
The Division comes down to the bases for judgment.
You can shout and accuse or you can look at fact and actions.
Which tells the clearer truth.
This is the difference between being judgmental or being discerning.
(NIV84)
51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth?
No, I tell you, but division.
(NIV84)
17 “Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
II.
V. 22-30 Declaration
:22 Time - Then came the Feast of Dedication at
Jerusalem.
It was winter,
:23 Act - and Jesus was in the temple area walking
Specific - in Solomon's Colonnade.
This verse tells us when, where and who and what.
Jesus was in Jerusalem where the Feast of Dedication was taking place and He was walking in the temple specifically in Solomon's Colonnade.
This celebration occurs today as what we know as Hanukkah.
But, like many things in the New Testament Jesus is the fulfillment of this Feast as well because He is the Light of the World.
They celebrated a mostly political victory but it also celebrated the restoration of the temple having been purified after the disgrace of Antiochus Epiphanes place an alter to a false god on the alter in the sanctuary.
:24 Act - The Jews gathered around Him saying,
Question - "How long will You keep us in suspense?
Condition - If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."
At this point the Jews appear to be open to a declarative statement by Jesus as to His exact status.
At every turn in the past they have refuted His statements.
Even here they are hedging their statement with an "If"
:25 Response - Jesus answered
Quote - "I did tell you
BUT
you do not believe.
Further - The miracles I do
Specific - in My Father's name
speak for Me,
I have been telling you all along but you refuse to see or hear.
Reason, because they do not fit your theology or mindset.
All has been done in My Father's name But you refuse to believe.
All these deeds and teaching done in the Father's name should be enough to evoke belief but they wanted a statement.
