John 10:22-25
At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, "How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly." Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these testify of Me. NASU

Curiosity, is a wonderful gift from God to us, and can be a great tool in the spread of the Gospel of Christ. Walt Disney believed that the special secret to making dreams come true was the four C s, curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way. A great thought, now what was it that caused the leaders of Jesus’ day to seek Him out? Well, it was His life, not just the Words He spoke, but the Word, lived before them.

Jesus knew His life’s plan and purpose was God’s plan for Him, and He lived it with courage, He didn’t care what someone else believed or thought of that plan. Jesus walked with faith and confidence in His Heavenly Father and it was His constant walk and faithfulness that caused the Jews to ask Him to tell them plainly if He was “The Christ.”

Now listen to the answer Jesus gave them. “The works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me.” The words Jesus spoke to the Jews that day were not just for them, but He was speaking to us, today. He was telliing us to let our lives do our talking for us, and let our feet testify to the world, where we come from. We were saved and baptized into the kingdom, you and I come from a new birth and a different world, and if we will live as a citizen of that world, then the world will come ask who we are…God Bless.
