John 10 concludes the public ministry of Jesus.

John 10 speaks of the unity between the Father and Son - something that gets expanded in John 17

“If you are the Messiah” - Fourth time - Why again and again and again? To incite - to arrest - to eliminate Jesus once and for all. The Pharisees believed they had the power to decide if Jesus was the Messiah or not - but the truth is Jesus had the power to remove and replace them - A STONE THAT WAS REJECTED HAS BECOME THE CORNERSTONE

Psalm 82
