Description:

As the confrontation between Jesus and the Jews in the Colonnades of Solomon comes to a close, Jesus tries once more to convince them that He is indeed one with the Father so they will believe. When they threaten to stone Him for His Words, He tries to draw their attention to His mighty Works that should have authenticated Him in their eyes. But so spiritually blind are they that they cannot process the works, but continue to concentrate on the words that have offended them. After marveling at Jesus' patience and love for those who persecute Him, we will consider the works and the words of Jesus in a modern context. We will find that the overwhelming evidence that Jesus is indeed the Son of God and Savior of the world is right before our eyes!
