John 12
We first learn of the miraculous signs in .
Here, in 12:37, we are reminded that there were still those who had witnessed the signs that still did not believe.
Several points to consider:
Jesus did many miracles.
This means many in number and many in greatness.
The miracles were proof of His mission.
Even though some were repeated, each miracle confirmed the reality of the others.
The miracles were the proof of the power of Jesus.
The number of miracles gave an opportunity to check and see if they could be validated.
Each miracle was a miracle of mercy.
Each miracle was done in a place where there were many witnesses.
Yet, “they still would not believe in him.”
It is important to note that sin makes one’s belief irrational, even to the point where they still would not believe.
This is a quote from .
There is no doubt that the arm of the Lord had been revealed in great power.
When they resist, something happens and the person comes to a place where they cannot believe.
John 12:39
Theologians call this JUDICIAL BLINDNESS.
This results in a choice of choosing not to see the truth of God.
Luke
Acts 28:
Do these verses mean there is a point where someone could miss his opportunity to be saved?
This indicates to me that there may be a time when the Lord may choose not to be found.
is a reminder that what God foretells will certainly come to past.
The prophet foretold they could not believe.
Then we see the foretelling that they should not believe.
Where does this come from?
Isaiah 6:1-4
John writes that Isaiah saw Jesus’ glory.
We have learned throughout this Book of John that Jesus is God.

Isaiah spoke about Him:
Isaiah 9:

Isaiah 42:

John 12:41
God always has a remnant.
God is showing us here that even with a remnant He will be glorified.
Even though there is an attempt of ruin by an unbelieving multitude, God will still be glorified in His remnant.
Was the belief of the leaders strong enough?
Evidently not, because they still feared.
Paul reminded us that if we believe in our hearts, we should confess with our mouths.
Romans 10:9-10
What they feared was being expelled from the synagogue which in reality, was the very thing that God wanted to remove from their lives.
But notice the underlying cause of that fear:
They gave a preference to man instead of God.
They fear the result of life without praise from man.
The fearful, by the way make the list among those that are in hell:
Revelation
John 12:44
Notice the intensity of Jesus crying out:
Jesus is giving wisdom and sharing truth to be understood.
comes to mind here:
Jesus is giving His all to proclaim what His ALL told Him to do!
We see here in verses 44-50 the recurrent themes of John:
God sent His Son.
To see the Son means to see the Father.
Jesus is the light of the world.
His words are they very words of God.
Faith in Him brings salvation.
To reject Him is to face eternal judgement.
He speaks on behalf of the Father, now His own.
Jesus came not to judge, but to save the world.
