Bible Commentary

John 10:26

Jesus applies the sheep metaphor to his opponents' unbelief; the verse describes this confrontation and must not become a label children use to exclude others.

Memory phrase: not among my sheep

Talk about it: What reason does Jesus give for their unbelief?

Prayer: Jesus, keep me humble when others disagree.
