Dear Friend in the Lord,
Rejection of Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus reprimanded the crowd for refusing to believe in Him as the Messiah. Ponder on, “We know of people who refuse to believe in Jesus; some even mock at Him. Let us value the gift of faith; that gives us the divine wisdom to embrace the challenges of life; never doubt in Jesus the Good Shepherd.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 10:22-28
It was the time when the feast of Dedication was being celebrated in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the Temple walking up and down in the Portico of Solomon. The Jews gathered round him and said, ‘How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.’
Jesus replied: ‘I have told you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name are my witness; but you do not believe, because you are no sheep of mine. The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me. I give them eternal life; they will never be lost and no one will ever steal them from me.’
