John 10:22-42
"Happy St. Patrick’s Day", emailed a friend.
"Who was Patrick anyway", I inquired.
And the conversation continued.
The Gospel reading today is very similar to the above conversation.
People: "Tell us the plain truth: are you the Messiah (Saviour)?"
Jesus: "I have already told you, but you do not believe me."
And the conversation continues.
So my question to you today is, ‘Who is Jesus?’
My answers …
To the deaf man, Jesus is the one who gives back his hearing;
To the thief on the cross, Jesus is the one who brought him to eternal life;
To the woman caught in adultery, Jesus saved her from a horrible death;
To the disciples in the boat on the stormy waters of Galilee, Jesus could control nature;
To the man born blind, Jesus restored his ability to see;
To Peter, Jesus gave him the ability to walk on water;
To the 10 lepers, Jesus cured them to become accepted within the community;
To the man with the speech impediment, Jesus was the one who enabled him to speak openly;
To the 5000 hungry people, Jesus was the one who could feed thousands;
To the wedding host, Jesus was able to provide wine for the party;
To the widow at Nain, Jesus brought her son back from the dead;
To the epileptic boy, Jesus brought healing so he could live a normal life;
To the man with the crippled hand, Jesus enabled him to work for a living.

I find my answer to your question in the lyrics of a great song:
HE
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer,
Saint or sinner call and always find Him there,
Though it makes Him sad to see the way we live,
He'll always say, "I forgive."
