John 10 has one of the most encouraging, assuring, and challenging passages in the Bible—
v.27 ”My sheep hear My voice…and they follow Me”. Jesus repeats His initial two-word call, “Follow me”, and enlarges it to be the proof of genuine salvation.
Jesus explains the clear-cut choices—either Satan who v.10 “kills, steals, and destroys”, or Jesus who gives life, and not just life—but supernatural life that overflows.
Remember, the Gospel by John is built around the 7 Signs (John 20:30-31)
Signs 1-3: HOW SALVATION COMES TO US
1—HE TURNS water into wine (2:1–11)—salvation is miraculous; @Cana.
2—HE HEALS the nobleman’s son (4:46–54)—salvation is by faith; @Capernaum from Cana
3—HE HEALS the paralytic (5:1–9)—salvation is by grace; @Pools Bethesda
Signs 4-7: WHAT SALVATION DOES TO US
4—HE FEEDS the 5,000 (6:1–14)—salvation brings satisfaction; @Capernaum
5—HE STILLS the storm (6:16–21)—salvation brings peace; @Capernaum & Sea of Galilee
6—HE HEALS the blind man (9:1–7)—salvation brings light; @Pool Siloam
7—HE RAISES Lazarus (11:38–45)—salvation brings life; @Bethany
