Isaiah And The Unbelievers

700 years before Christ, Isaiah spoke about those who would not believe in him.

John 12:37-50

Isaiah’s judgment (v. 37-43)

• How could they not believe?
• Isaiah asked the same question (v. 38; Isaiah 53:1; Acts 8:30; Romans 10:16).
• Answer: it was their nature not to believe (v. 40) and they were afraid of the consequences of believing (v. 42-43).

Judged by the words of Christ (v. 44-50)

• To see Jesus is to see God; to believe in Jesus is to believe in God (v. 44-45).
• Jesus is light, and he came to save men (v. 46-47).
• To reject Jesus is to request judgment upon oneself (v. 48).
• That judgment will be based on ones rebellion against the word of God (v. 49-50).
