In this episode, Jesus talks about the fact that his sheep know him and follow him and no one can snatch them out of His hand!

In this episode, Jesus says that no one takes his life from him but that he lays it down of his own accord. We talk about the nature of self-sacrificing love.

In this episode, Jesus tells his followers that there are other sheep that he must bring in that are not of this sheep pen. We are reminded that the good news is for all people!

In this episode, we hear Jesus say, "I am the good shepherd." We are reminded of the goodness of God and challenged to come to "know" this good shepherd!

In this episode, we talk about Jesus who is the one who unites divinity and humanity, making a way for us to have life to the full!

In this episode, Jesus continues to talk to the Pharisees, using the metaphor of sheep that know their shepherd's voice!

In this episode, we see that Jesus finds the man born blind, and reveals that he is the Son of Man. The man born blind worships Jesus right there. Meanwhile, the Pharisees are continually closing their eyes to who Jesus is!

In this episode, we see the religious leaders continuing to question the blind man about Jesus identity and how he opened the man's eyes. The man counters with a simple testimony, "I was blind, but now I see."

As we continue to read the story of the blind man Jesus healed, his parents are questioned about how their son was healed and it's obvious that they do not want to get involved.
