John 12:37-49 When Belief Never Begins

A lot is said about believing in this section.  "The people would not believe ... they could not believe ... they should not believe."

My commentary said, "They had heard the message and seen the miracles, and yet would not believe."

Explaining further, it said, "When a person starts to resist the light, something begins to change within him, and he comes to the place where he cannot believe.  There is judicial blindness that God permits to come over the eyes of people who do not take the truth seriously.  It is a serious thing to treat God's truth lightly, for a person could well miss his opportunity to be saved."

Father, I pray for my friends and those I love who have shrugged off the Savior.  Please open their eyes again.  Let them have another chance to see and believe.

 

Your Brother In Christ,
