Then the Festival of Dedication took place in Jerusalem, and it was winter.

Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's Colonnade. 

The Jews surrounded him and asked, 

"How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."

"I did tell you and you don't believe," Jesus answered them. 

"The works that I do in my Father's name testify about me."

John 10:22-25 CSB

This sounds like an unfriendly press conference. Jesus surrounded, facing the questions, because several times we've heard of these guys arguing amongst themselves, not sure what to believe about Jesus. 

Is he who he says he is?

Because if he is, if he is the Messiah, we need to get on his team. 

And Jesus response?

I've told you who I am. That hasn't changed, so I'm not going to argue that with you. 

And.

Look at what I've been doing. That's my testimony. 

What I say and what I do have integrity, they say the same thing. 

I wonder if I could answer the same way if I was asked about my faith. Yes here's my answer, and look at what I've been doing. That's my testimony. My life and choices say the same thing as my words. 

Jesus isn't about doing more. These guys didn't find him teaching in church somewhere, but just wandering around, heading to a festival. 

You are enough.

Jesus example is simple to speak and live with integrity.
