What does it truly mean to recognize the Messiah standing right before us? This powerful exploration of John 10:22-42 transports us to a pivotal moment during Hanukkah—the Festival of Dedication—when Jesus stood in Solomon's colonnade surrounded by hostile religious leaders demanding a plain answer: 'Are you the Messiah?' Jesus' answer left His audience with a question that remains for each of us: are we willing to believe? Those who hear His voice and believe are His sheep, held securely in both His hand and the Father's hand, never to perish. This isn't just about intellectual assent—it's about recognizing the works of God in Christ and responding with faith.
