In a recent teaching session, we explored the complexities of belief and unbelief as depicted in John 12:37-50. Despite witnessing numerous miracles, many did not believe in Jesus, a disbelief linked to Old Testament prophecies from Isaiah. This raises a theological debate between Calvinists and Arminianists regarding God’s role in blinding eyes and hardening hearts. The session highlighted the importance of context in understanding scripture and noted the recurring pattern of human resistance to divine truth. A key takeaway was the distinction between belief and confession, emphasizing that belief alone is insufficient without a willingness to stand for one’s faith. Jesus’ words underscore His unity with the Father and present Him as the light of the world, offering salvation. The session concluded with a reflection on the power of God’s word, which brings life to those who accept it and condemnation to those who reject it, underscoring the responsibility of believers to share the word.
