In John 10, Jesus speaks to the Pharisees about the good shepherd following the healing of a blind man in John 9. The healed man affirms faith in Jesus, resulting in his expulsion from the synagogue. Jesus criticizes the Pharisees’ spiritual blindness, contrasting true shepherds with thieves. My sheep can see this. Can you? The first in a series.
En Juan 9 y 10, Jesús, tras sanar a un ciego y confrontar a los fariseos, les acusa de hipocresía espiritual al afirmar que pueden ver mientras rechazan la verdad. Jesús usa la parábola del buen pastor para contrastar entre el verdadero guía y los falsos líderes, cuestionando la legitimidad de los fariseos. La primera parte de ls serie.
God “calls” all believers to love one another and to be conformed to the image of His Son–to be made, by God, to be just like Jesus. There is also a number of other things to which God “calls” all believers–almost all of them things we simply let him do to or through us, and all of them summed up by loving each other and being remade into His image.
