Some of the Jews wanted Jesus to just some out and say if He was the Christ. In response, Jesus stated that He'd already told them and they hadn't believed. His works were all they needed to testify to His identity. After Jesus said that God was His Father and They were one, the Jews picked up rocks to stone Him for blasphemy. Jesus reasoned with them based on scripture and the works that He had done, but they weren't swayed so Jesus slipped away.
For anyone to claim to be God or the Messiah, that would be blasphemy - unless He really were! Jesus is the only one in the history of the world who can make that claim. He alone fulfilled the prophecies and showed the power of the Messiah. Knowing what He has done, we can put our hope and trust in Him and know that we worship the one true risen Savior who can save us from our sin.
