We made it past the 29th verse. Short one today but hopefully a lot in it. I pray God keeps us focused on His word.
Extra Credit: touching on the triune God I found this from Donald Fortner on Why do we believe the doctrine of the Trinity
Jhn 10:30 I and my Father are one.
- How do you interpret the unity of Christ and the Father?
How blessed it is to see the oneness of the Father and Son. Not only in will but also in purpose, nature, essence, power, and perfection. Not limited in their connection but a harmony in design and union of their power and operations. Among these we also witness our Shepherd and our owner. The Shepherd that cares for the flock and the owner that chose them and purchased them. The tender touch and watchful eye of the Shepherd and the mind and merciful heart of the owner. As the Father and Son are but one God so to the Shepherd and the owner of the flock but one. All that one is the other is. What the Father is the Son is. The works of the Father are the works of the Son. The power, glory, honor, and praise of the Son is that to of the Father. And we rest in humility to both, that the one chose us and owns us is that same that bought us and watches us. And we shall not be lost or perish in their hands.
