John 12:41-43
41 These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. 42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
The prophet Isaiah saw God's glory long before Jesus came to us, and many saw this and believed - but the religious leaders wanted their own importance and kicked out anyone who did not go along and reject Jesus. Even now some will go by the name of Christ, yet only as it profits them. Those disagreeing by believing what God said in the Bible they shun or attack. But those of us who were blind yet now see find joy in all God said and did for us, humbly receiving grace over judgment in knowing we deserve one and cannot attain the other.
