Again the Jews picked up rocks to stone him.

Jesus replied, 

"I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these works are you stoning me?"

"We aren't stoning you for a good work," the Jews answered, "but for blasphemy, because you - being a man - make yourself God."

John 10:31-33 CSB

This group of people were crystal clear that Jesus had claimed to be God.

Interesting that they were willing to accept the miracles and signs as being from God, things that a person could do - in John 9 it was a person who was born blind. That person didn't have his sight restored, because he'd never had it. Jesus created sight in him. This is a taste of becoming a new creation in Jesus.

Anyhow it seems that the Jews could somehow accept that Jesus works were God working through someone, not God at work, right in front of them. They couldn't accept Jesus claim that he was the son of God, the Messiah they'd been waiting for, looking for. 

He didn't fit the profile they'd constructed, so rather than question that, question themselves, they rejected the evidence. 

Jesus is who he said he is. 

He showed it.

And he went further. 

To the cross. 

Today we can trust him with all our stuff, our burdens, our joys, our hurts, losses and wins.

We can rest in that today.
