Jesus has been making radical claims about who he is. For instance he has claimed to be the light of the world, the heaven opener, and the good shepherd. All of Jesus' claims have been allusions to the Old Testament were a messiah was promised to come. The Jews of the day would most assuradly be aware of the weight of Jesus claims. Therefore we come to this text where Jesus is confronted by all the Jewish leaders. They encircle him publically at a major feast in Jersalem. The question they ask is "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ tell us plainly." In the sermon we will take a look at Jesus response to the Jews.
