John chapter 12 verse 37 says but though
He had done so many miracles before them yet. They believed not on him. He's doing miracles
I I can't do miracles
God Jesus Christ is literally
healing blind people I
mean if we saw that
We would be
Tripping, you know, we would we'd be freaking whoa
You know
But they they saw that and still didn't believe on him
They saw all the miracles if they saw him raise Lazarus from the dead that the chief priests and all those guys saw
him Lazarus
Come out, you know took the napkin off his face and you know
Then they wanted to kill him too because they saw him raised from the dead
but
So they were reprobates man. They they could you know, and and that's what this is saying here
It says verse 38 that the saint of Isaiah is the prophet might be fulfilled which he spake
Lord who hath believed our report and to whom is the arm of the Lord been revealed therefore they could not believe
They could not believe okay get that point across right there
They could not believe because that Isaiah is the prophet they're talking about
Said again he has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart that they should not see with their eyes nor
Understand with their heart and be converted and I should heal them
These things said Isaiah's when he saw his glory and spake of him
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him
Say there was some that did believe but most of them were could not
But because of the Pharisees they did not confess unless they should be put out of the synagogue
So they're that these guys that were they did believe on Christ, but they were too scared to say anything
And you know that that makes me think about you know, just in our daily life. Let's do a little application here, you know
We we if we believe on Jesus Christ
Do you confess him at your work or are you too afraid of being made fun of at work or do you confess him?
You know in front of your family or are you afraid your family's gonna make fun of you?
You know, do you confess them to your friends or?
Are you afraid that your friends are gonna make fun of you and call you a Jesus freak
You know and they will
Believe me Jesus Christ. He divides, you know, I don't have a line up my door of friends and family
Wanting to hang out with me all the time anymore
so
Verse 43 it says for they love the praise of men more than the praise of God
So, you know, we should we should take heed to this that you know, even though you know, it's only takes faith and
to be saved
It only takes faith to be saved. But you know
We shouldn't be cowering the shadows and being afraid to tell people who we are and what we believe, you know
Because God isn't wasn't afraid, you know to stand up for us
