"The Father and I are one."
John 10:27-30
After comparing his disciples to sheep who know the voice of their shepherd and say that they know his voice and he knows them, Jesus assures those who follow Him that they will have eternal life. He then adds that "The Father and I are one." Today's passage can only be understood when read in the context of the whole of Chapter 10 of John's Gospel. Jesus used many images of the care and concern of the shepherd for the sheep, and the total dependence of the sheep on their shepherd. They were images the disciples were very familiar with because herds of sheep with their shepherds were everywhere. In fact, they are still very common in the Holy Land today. But the message of Jesus in Chapter 10 of St. John's Gospel is: If you believe in me, if you do as I do and imitate my care and concern and love for you, by loving one another, then my spirit is in you. If my Spirit is in you, then you and I are one, just as the Father and I are one. Is not union with God, Father, Son and Spirit, what we are all seeking?
Let us continue to pray for each other. May the Good Lord bless you and keep you close to Himself.
Your servant in Christ,
Fr. Mick Greer
