Why Do People Reject Jesus?
You don't feel the absolute necessity to go to a doctor if you think you are perfectly fine. The doctor's clinic would be the most boring place in the world to you.
However, once you are made to realize that there is something in your body that requires immediate medical attention, and that your condition is fatal, I tell you, Dr. so and so would be most precious and valuable to you.
You will never forget his name. You will keep coming back to him for as long as your condition requires. You know that your life depends upon his skill.
Many people reject Jesus and find Him of no value at all in their lives because they are blind to their need of Him. They don't realize and see that their condition absolutely cries out for Him for their well-being.
But once they are made to realize that they are sinners in the sight of God, spiritual criminals, who are helpless and powerless to save themselves and that any moment they die they could go into an eternity of doom, I tell you, Jesus and what He did on the cross would be most precious to them. They know that their eternal destiny hangs upon Him.
Have you seen your utterly helpless and powerless condition to save yourself? Has the Holy Spirit made you see your actual condition as God sees you?
And, as a result, have you found Christ Jesus and what He did on the cross for you valuable? Have you seen the fact that He is your only hope of salvation, and that being so, you put your entire trust in Him for salvation?
