In today's Gospel, Jesus is confronted by a hostile audience in the Temple who is asking for evidence to prove that he is the Messiah. They had seen the miracles he performed and they were witnesses to his teaching and his prayer life.Still, they were not convinced.They wanted more proofs.Jesus uses this occasion to tell them that all those who have believed in him would be protected and that the Father would never allow them to be lost.Then, He told them directly and plainly that he and the Father one one. What a solemn proclamation.A Jew who had no faith in Jesus would definitely be scandalized.Those words of Jesus were enough to offer them convincing proof of his Divinity.
As we reflect on these words of Jesus, we become comforted by the fact that we who have put our faith in Him would not be abandoned. Our way is the way shown by the Lord. We shall remain in constant contact with him.He is our anchor and rock in life and nothing can take away the joy of life from us.
