John 10:22-30

No Experts Allowed

Jesus' opponents want to know if he is the Messiah. "Tell us plainly," they demand (Jn 10:24). They've seen his works but want assurance. So, Jonathan and Seth discuss doubt. They disagree, discuss it, and conclude that Seth may have been too "down" on doubt. We may be unable to accompany people experiencing uncertainty if we try to avoid it. Interpreting Scripture with others can be life-giving. We hope this episode exemplifies that process, even when disagreements arise.
