John 10:23-38
Jesus was in the temple courtyard walking in Solomon’s Porch.The Jews who were gathered there around Jesus spoke to him. They said,“ How long will you keep us waiting? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”Jesus answered,“ I did tell you. But you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name are a witness for me.But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.My sheep listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.I give them eternal life, and they will never die. No one will steal them out of my hand.My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than anyone. No one can steal them out of my Father’s hand.I and the Father are one.”Again the Jews who had challenged him picked up stones to kill him.But Jesus said to them,“ I have shown you many good works from the Father. Which good work are you throwing stones at me for?”“ We are not throwing stones at you for any good work,” they replied.“ We are stoning you for saying a very evil thing. You are only a man. But you claim to be God.”Jesus answered them,“ Didn’t God say in your Law,‘ I have said you are“ gods” ’?( Psalm 82:6)We know that Scripture is always true. God spoke to some people and called them‘ gods.’If that is true, what about the one the Father set apart as his very own? What about this one the Father sent into the world? Why do you charge me with saying a very evil thing? Is it because I said,‘ I am God’s Son’?Don’t believe me unless I do the works of my Father.But what if I do them? Even if you don’t believe me, believe these works. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”

Hammer your pruning tools into spears. Let anyone who is weak say,“ I am strong!”Come quickly, all you surrounding nations. Gather together in the Valley of Jehoshaphat. Lord, send down your soldiers from heaven!The Lord says,“ Stir up the nations into action! Let them march into the valley where I will judge them. I will take my seat in court. I will judge all the surrounding nations.My soldiers, swing your blades. The nations are ripe for harvest. Come and stomp on them as if they were grapes. Crush them until the winepress of my anger is full. Do it until the wine spills over from the places where it is stored. The nations have committed far too many sins!”Huge numbers of soldiers are gathered in the valley where the Lord will hand down his sentence. The day of the Lord is near in that valley.The sun and moon will become dark. The stars won’t shine anymore.The Lord will roar like a lion from Jerusalem. His voice will sound like thunder from Zion. The earth and the heavens will tremble. But the Lord will keep the people of Israel safe. He will be a place of safety for them.
