Blinded and Hardened to Signs

John 12:37-40 
37 But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” 39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: 40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.”

Some cannot believe because God has closed their eyes and ears of their hearts, choosing to show Himself to the ones He chooses.  This is a hard saying, and so many refuse to believe even when they see God working in front of them and hear of all He does around them.  For those who believe what we hear God shows His power, mercy, and goodness because He opened our eyes and heart.
