The Jewish people have been exposed to the gospel, but they have rejected it, seeking to establish their own righteousness and not needing a sacrifice. God's sovereignty is also a factor in their unbelief, as He shuts down their opportunity to believe. The view of Isaiah 53 provides a historical reason for their unbelief, as they were unimpressed with Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. [... more]
