After reading John 10, I’m so amazed by Jesus! One particular moment that really struck me is when Jesus refers to Psalm 82. In that psalm, we see God addressing rulers who received His word but twisted justice because they relied on their own standards. Jesus points to this passage to expose the hypocrisy of those accusing Him of blasphemy. They had the Law, they had the Word, yet they closed their hearts to the truth.
In John 10:34-36 (NIV), it says: “Jesus answered them, ‘Is it not written in your Law, “I have said you are ‘gods’”? If he called them “gods,” to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, “I am God’s Son”?’” The original psalm (Psalm 82) describes these “gods” as judges who were supposed to uphold righteousness but failed miserably. The Word of God came to them, yet they refused to apply divine standards to their leadership.
Similarly, many of the spiritual leaders in Jesus’ time diligently studied the Scriptures yet failed to see that the very Word of God stood right before their eyes. When Jesus revealed His divine identity, they were not only astonished but also fiercely opposed to accepting the truth He embodied.
Jesus’ reference to being “set apart” by the Father does not suggest He was created. The gospel of John begins by declaring that Jesus is the eternal Word of God (John 1:1), and John 1:3 (NIV) boldly states, “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” From the start, we see that Jesus created everything, and thus cannot be a mere creation. When John 10 speaks of Jesus as being set apart, it points to the unique mission He was sent to accomplish—His role as the Messiah and the Savior of the world, not some subordinate created being.
We must trust Jesus and embrace who He says He is. When we place our faith in Him, our lives transform. We become part of His flock, guided by His voice. We begin to care for others with genuine compassion and reject the self-serving attitudes that separate us from God’s love. By following Jesus, we experience a relationship with the true Word who has existed from the beginning and will reign forever.
Heavenly Father, thank You for opening our hearts to Your Word. Help us to recognize Jesus as the eternal Son who has always been with You. Guide us to turn away from selfishness and live in the light of Your grace. May we honor You by following Christ’s example, loving others, and standing firm in the truth that He is the Son of God. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
