John 10:32 Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?”
Jesus showed them the works of the Father. Works of healing on the Sabbath. The Jews couldn’t accept that the works of Jesus were the works of God, His Father, so they considered Him a sinner and an imposter. Does anyone see the disconnect? The disconnect was that they didn’t know God. If they had known God, they would have recognized the merciful and gracious works of Christ as the works of God. In the Law, Exodus 34:6, God proclaimed His name, “The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth.” Look how patient and kind Jesus was to direct their attention to His good works. That’s probably a good thing for us to do also. As we love with Jesus, let’s do His works (love) and give Him glory as Jesus gave His Father glory.
