What does the Bible say about the rejection of Jesus?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible reveals that Jesus faced widespread rejection, even after performing miracles that demonstrated His divine authority (John 1:10).
In the Gospel of John, particularly from chapters 5 through 12, the predominant theme is the rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Despite His miraculous works and teachings, the response from the majority was one of hostility and unbelief, illustrating humanity's natural enmity against God. John 1:10 states that 'He came into His own, and His own received Him not,' which encapsulates the spiritual condition of mankind—rejecting the very One who came to save them. This rejection is traced back to original sin, where all of humanity shares a natural aversion to God's sovereignty and provision for salvation.
