In Jesus' final public teaching in the Gospel of John (10:22-42), the people of Jerusalem tried to pin him down. They wanted him to declare openly who he was. In keeping with his indirect public style, Jesus pointed them to his words and works. He also boldly declared, "I and the Father are one." This statement sent them looking for rocks to stone him, since they thought he was a man who made himself out to be God. They grasped that he claimed identity with God, but they got things exactly backwards. (sermon notes)
In the new way of walking, believers need to put off the habits of the old self and put on the attitudes and activities...
While the Old Testament is still valid, we also have the message of the one who was raised from the dead.
To those who try to impose their own rules on all Christians we should just say “No!”
