"Isaiah Saw…"

“Isaiah Saw…”

Blessings Folk!

Today’s reading:

John 12:37-43


pastedGraphic
Many did not believe in Jesus, even though He performed many signs before them.

This was in fulfillment of what Isaiah saw and spoke/wrote about.

They did not believe.
The Lord blinded their eyes.
The Lord hardened their heart.

Nevertheless...don’t you love that word…
Many believed in Jesus...even the religious rulers.
Yet, they did not publicly confess Him due to fear.
Fear of the Pharisees, the religious rulers.

The same happens today.

The Lord will manifest Himself in the life of a believer and they are afraid to speak of it to the “powers that be” “at church” for fear of retribution.

I’ve seen it happen.

They feared being removed from the synagogue.
They loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

Whose approval do you seek?
