THE JEWS CONTINUE IN THEIR UNBELIEF

John 12:37-50

37 Even after Jesus had done

All these miraculous signs in their presence,

THEY STILL WOULD NOT BELIEVE HIM.

38 This was to fulfill the Word of Isaiah the Prophet:

'Lord, who has believed our message

And to whom has the Arm of the Lord been revealed?'

39 For this reason they could not believe,

Because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:

40 'HE (SATAN) HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES

And deadened their hearts,

So they can neither see with their eyes

Nor understand with their hearts,

Nor turn—and I would heal them.'

41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' Glory

And spoke about Him.

42 Yet at the same time

Many even among the leaders believed in Him.

But because of the Pharisees

They would not confess their Faith

For Fear they would be put out of the Synagogue;

43 FOR THEY LOVED THE PRAISE FROM MEN

MORE THAN PRAISE FROM GOD.

44 Then Jesus cried out,

'WHEN A MAN BELIEVES IN ME,

HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN ME ONLY,

BUT IN THE ONE WHO SENT ME.

45 WHEN HE LOOKS AT ME,

HE SEES THE ONE WHO SENT ME.

46 I HAVE COME INTO THE WORLD AS A LIGHT,

(The only Light that exists in the World)

SO THAT NO ONE WHO BELIEVES IN ME

SHOULD STAY IN DARKNESS.

(The World without Faith in Christ Jesus is complete Darkness)

47 As for the person who hears My Words

But does not keep them,

I do not judge him,

FOR I DID NOT COME TO JUDGE THE WORLD,

BUT TO SAVE IT.

48 There is a Judge for the one who Rejects Me

And does not accept My Words;

THE VERY WORD WHICH I SPOKE WILL CONDEMN HIM

AT THE LAST DAY.

49 For I did not speak of My own accord,

But the Father Who sent Me Commanded Me

What to say and how to say it.

50 I KNOW HIS COMMAND LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE.

SO WHATEVER I SAY

IS JUST WHAT THE FATHER HAD TOLD ME TO SAY.'

(John 12:37-50)

Today, the only ones who believe Christ Jesus

Are those whose names are written

In the Lamb's Book of LIFE.

The rest of the Wold remains in Darkness.

Many in the Church today,

Love the Praise form men

Rather than the Praise from God.

Those who see Jesus, see the One Who sent Him.

Christ Jesus is the Light of the world;

the only Light that exist in this Dark World.

Christ Jesus did not come to Judge the World

But to Save all who would believe.

The Words of Christ Jesus, the Word God,

Condemns all who refuse to believe.

Acceptance of the Word of God

Leads to Eternal Life.
