What can we learn about the world's understanding of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The world cannot understand Christ because it is not of Him, lacking the ability to hear His words due to its fallen nature.

Jesus teaches in John 8:43 that the world cannot understand His speech because they are not of God. This underscores the inability of those outside of faith to comprehend the truth of Christ. The natural man, apart from divine revelation, remains in spiritual darkness and cannot perceive the gospel's truth. In contrast, those who are of God, through His grace and revelation, understand and respond to Christ's words. This distinction between believers and the world highlights the necessity of God's sovereign grace in granting understanding and belief.
