Jesus illustrates His mission with the picture of the shepherd. The shepherd has the right to the sheep because he enters through the door. The thieves jump over the wall to steal and destroy. The shepherd also has relationship with the sheep, and the shepherd is responsible for the safety and protection of the sheep.

The man who had been healed of his blindness is interrogated about the miracle and about Jesus. We are told at the end of this chapter that what we are seeing is a man growing more and more into the light, and another group is growing deeper and deeper into blindness. The man, although not knowing everything about Jesus, holds to his confession that he once was blind but now can see.

Jesus heals a man who is born blind. He tells his disciples that the reason the man is blind is so that "the works of God" would be displayed in him. Then he tells his disciples, "We must work the works of God while there is time." - He demonstrates the priority and urgency of the disciples in making disciples, weeping with those who weep, and being instruments by which God changes lives

Peter's earlier three fold denial of Jesus. Here in this short exchange, Jesus gives both the priority and the necessity of Love for Jesus as the impetus for service to the flock.

Jesus concludes his conversation with the religious leaders by explicitly revealing His identity to them and even now, giving them the invitation of promise. In this section, the believer finds great assurance that Jesus is able to fulfill His promise and there is nothing that can cause His promise to fail.

Jesus shows his opponents that they are neither Abraham's children, nor are they God's. To do so He gives them evidence of what God does in His children. They bear fruit, they love Jesus, and they respond to God's Word.

Jesus shows the evidence which is present in the life of one who has been made His disciple. They abide in His word and they have been freed from the slavery to sin. What does this look like? How do I know that I am one of these disciples?

Jesus gives both the warning and the invitation of the gospel to the religious leaders who are questioning Him. Those who do not know Christ will be separated from God for eternity. Wrath and divine judgment are owed but Christ stands in their midst to deliver the invitation of the Father's salvation.
