(Author's note: 'Nu?' is Yiddish
for 'So? Now what?')


The Jews answered Him,
'It is not for a good work that
we stone you but for blasphemy....
because You, being a Man, make
Yourself God.

Jesus answered them......
The Father is in Me
And I am in the Father.
[John 10:33-39]

"Lord Jesus?"

"Yes, child."

"I've been disappointed, in the
Lord, lately, and now I don't what
to make of You, at all."

[SILENCE.]

"I wasn't brought up Christian,
Lord Jesus. In my house, You
didn't exist. We never
spoke Your name. Today,
I love You, and think
that You are very beautiful,
Lord Jesus, but I still have
trouble saying Your name."

[NOD.]

"And, all of those words in red
still make me uncomfortable,
Lord Jesus. It's kind of
like opening the door to
a room in my house that I
never thought existed: it's filled
with all sorts of lovely things,
but it doesn't seem like it
belongs to me."

"Read My Word, daughter."

"You mean the red parts, Lord Jesus?
Well, here's one:

My sheep hear My Voice,
and I know them,
and they follow Me.
[John 10:27]"

"Go on."

"You mean the next part, Lord Jesus?

And I give them eternal life,
and they shall never perish...
[John 10:28]"

[NOD.]

"And no one shall snatch them
out of My Hand.
My Father, who has given them
to Me, is greater than all....
I and the Father are One.
[John 10:28-30]

I like the sheep part, Lord Jesus.
It's the One part that confuses
me. And, the Holy Spirit: I
don't get Him, at all."

"Ah, I see."

"Nu?"

"Read My Word, child.
Read, and live."

"Okay. I'll try.
I opened the door to You,
and the thought of closing it,
now, seems unbearable."

"And, what is My Name, child?"

"Your Name is Jesus.
You are Jesus, Lord."
***********************************
I am the Good Shepherd.
[John 10:14]
