We see that the unbelief is not to be a surprise. It was foretold by the prophet Isaiah. It is going to take God opening their eyes for them to see the truth of the scriptures, the truth of what is right before them in Jesus Christ. John writes that He had done so many signs before them they still would not believe.
Do you ever miss something right in front of you? I often will be looking for something or someone only to have it pointed out that it is right in front of me. This is the problem for the people. They have been looking for the Messiah to come and save them, and now the messiah is right in front of them. He is teaching and doing signs of great power that could only come from the Lord, but they still do not see Him.
We must still be careful to look for the true Messiah and not the one the world wants. There are those who will take Jesus and turn Him into a god of their own design and desire. They make Him in the image of man to justify their own wants and sin. Pray that the Lord will show you the true Christ and that you may believe in Him!
Consider: Romans 10:16-21
