231. If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.

Jn 7:31,41-43

The miracles that Jesus performed and his words made the Jews wonder if Jesus was the Christ. (Jn 7:31,41-43, Jn 10:24)

Jn 7:31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? 41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43 So there was a division among the people because of him.

Jn 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

But because they are not the sheep of Christ, they do not believe that Jesus is the Christ. (Jn 10:25-26)

Jn 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
