—John 10:22-30
by: Gabrielle Watt.
It was winter in Jerusalem during the Festival of Dedication, also known as Hanukkah. Jesus was walking in a part of the temple known as Solomon’s Colonnade, which was an open but covered—almost hallway-like—portion of the temple that is held up with many large columns. Jews were gathered around Him, as was typical, and they seem to have been struggling with pinpointing His identity. Jesus, having already explained who He was, replied that His sheep know His voice, follow Him, and are eternally saved by Him—which raises a few questions: Who are His sheep? Does this Scripture confirm the idea of once saved, always saved?
