All you nations, praise the Lord.
The setting for today’s Gospel is the Temple. Jesus is in the Portico of Solomon and several Jews gathered around Him and asked: “How long will you keep us in suspense? Tell us who you are! Are you the Christ?” They desperately wanted to hear Jesus to say to them: “Yes, I am the Christ.”
However, Jesus did not do as they asked. Rather He said to them “I have already told you who I am! And you refuse to believe me.” Jesus then tells these difficult Jews that His “sheep” not only hear His voice, they also listen intently to His voice. His sheep trust Him and they follow Him. Jesus will give up His life to protect His sheep from harm. Jesus then says that He will give them eternal life!
Jesus says that His Father is greater than anyone. And no one has the ability to take His sheep out of the Father’s hand, ending with the simple yet powerful statement: “the Father and I are one.” How did the Jews react to Jesus’ words?
Did they want to understand who Jesus was? Or were they simply harassing him? It is clear that these Jews were not open to Jesus’ message. They simply were trying to antagonise Him!
Do we speak out about what we believe, even when the people who are listening may not want to hear what we have to say? Do we have the courage of Jesus to stand up and speak of our beliefs and values, in the face of criticism or anger? Being a follower of Jesus is not easy! We also are called to voice our truth. At times, we do this with our words. In other situations, our actions or attitude may speak for us. We may not need words! Jesus will give us the courage and grace when we are in need! Do we trust Him to do so? Will we be a true follower of Jesus?
