Jesus at the Festival of Dedication (John 10:22-42)

John 10:22-42 records Jesus' declaration of His unity with the Father. The passage, set during the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah), reveals Jesus' bold claim of divinity and His promise of eternal security for His followers. We're challenged to consider what it truly means to be Christ's sheep - those who hear His voice and follow Him. The sermon emphasizes the unbreakable grip of both the Father and the Son on believers, offering comfort and assurance. However, we're also reminded of the importance of perseverance in faith, as seen in the warnings from Hebrews and 1 Corinthians. This message invites us to examine our own faith journey, encouraging us to remain steadfast while resting in the security of God's love and power.
