John 10: blasphemy

In John 10, Jesus continues in Jerusalem. People are asking among themselves: "Is Jesus the Messiah?". Thus, they ask Jesus.  

22 At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem; 23 it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple area, in the portico of Solomon. 24 The Jews then surrounded Him and began saying to Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me. 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep. 27 My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”

Jesus answered that he had already told (that he is the Messiah indeed) but they didn't believe, however, some believed because the Lord (the Father) sent them to him. Jesus called the Lord, his father. Besides, Jesus said that he and the Lord are one. The reaction was to stone Jesus for blasphemy.

33 The Jews answered Him, “We are not stoning You for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.”

Even though they were near to stone him, Jesus asked them to pay attention to what he himself does:

37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.” 39 Therefore they were seeking again to arrest Him, and He eluded their grasp.

The gospel of John is telling me, chapter after chapter, to believe in Jesus. Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God (ICTUS). He is the door: only through him we may get near the Lord.
