“Secret Identity”
John 10: 24b, 25: “’How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.’ Jesus answered them, ‘I told you, and you did not believe.’” The Pharisees did not want to admit the truth of Jesus’ Messiahship, because they had openly rejected Him numerous times. But Jesus’ many miracles recorded by John—and the one about to come—showed that He had no interest in keeping any secret from His children concerning Who He was; now that His time had come.
