But despite all the miraculous signs Jesus had done, most of the people still did not believe in Him. This is exactly what Isaiah the prophet had predicted:
"Lord, who has believed our message?
To whom has the Lord revealed His powerful arm?"
But the people couldn't believe, for as Isaiah also said,
"The Lord has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts-
so that their eyes cannot see,
and their hearts cannot understand,
and they cannot turn to me
and have me heal them."
Jesus shouted to the crowds, "If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also, God who sent me. For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me. I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all those who put their trust in me, will no longer remain in the dark. I will not judge those who hear me but don't obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken

, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Jesus died so that we could live.

Amen! Yes, Jesus came to save sinners. He came to save His flock!
Many will remain blind to His wonderful truth, but many are having the veil lifted By God's wonderful power!
And I praise Him, for I love it when I see someone humble themselves before the Lord, and give their lives to Him- when they understand why He died and rose again....
Just as the Bible says: Luke 15:7
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
-And also, without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins as it says in Hebrews- that is why Jesus had to shed His own blood, and one drop of His blood was enough to cover the world's sin. But it is only in believing in His wonderful salvation and repenting of sin you can be born again---And Jesus says The time is NOW!

"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
