Why do some people hear the same gospel, see the same evidence, and still reject Jesus?

In John 7:14–30, Jesus gives a blunt answer: the problem isn’t lack of proof — it’s the heart.

In this episode, we break down Jesus’ confrontation in the temple during the Feast of Booths and unpack what He means when He says that only those who want to do God’s will can recognize whether His teaching is truly from God. That raises some uncomfortable but necessary questions about free will, spiritual blindness, and why neutral “seekers” don’t really exist.

We’ll connect this passage to John 3 and John 6, show how regeneration precedes recognition, and explain why rejection of Christ is ultimately a moral and spiritual issue, not just an intellectual one. If you’ve ever wondered why smart, religious, sincere people can still miss Jesus — this text gives a sobering answer.

In John 7:1–13, Jesus does something that feels… backwards.

The crowds are gathering. The Feast of Booths is about to start. His own brothers are telling Him to go public and prove Himself. Meanwhile, the religious leaders are actively looking for a reason to kill Him.

So why doesn’t Jesus take the moment?

Why does He stay hidden — and then go to Jerusalem quietly instead of making a big entrance?

In this episode, we break down the cultural pressure of the pilgrimage feasts, the danger surrounding Jesus in Judea, and what He really means when He says, “My time has not yet come.” We’ll talk about divine timing, fear of man, and why God’s mission never moves on the world’s schedule — or even our own expectations.

If you’ve ever felt like God is moving too slow, or wondered why the “right opportunity” didn’t turn into immediate action, this passage might change how you think about obedience, patience, and what it really means to trust God’s plan.

In this episode:

John 6 shows that the same bread can produce very different hearts. While the crowd walks away and the Twelve stay, Jesus reveals an even deeper truth—staying near Him is not the same as belonging to Him. This episode explores the dividing power of Jesus’ words and the contrast between Peter’s imperfect faith and Judas’ hidden unbelief.

In this episode, while discussing Jesus walking on the water, we will examine the following questions:

Why does Jesus say the crowd is following Him?

What does it mean to “work for food that perishes” in a religious context?

Why do they immediately ask, “What must we do?”

Why does Jesus call faith “the work of God” instead of a human response?

Why do they appeal to Moses and manna—and what does that reveal about their expectations of the Messiah?

What does Jesus mean when He says, “I am the bread of life,” not “I give bread”?

Why does Jesus say they have seen Him and still do not believe?

What does it mean that the Father “gives” people to the Son before they come?

Why is Jesus so confident He will lose none of those given to Him?

Why does John describe their response as “grumbling,” and why does that matter?

What does Jesus mean when He says no one can come unless the Father draws him?

Why does Jesus move from “bread” language to “flesh” language?

What would “eating flesh and drinking blood” have sounded like to a first-century Jew?

If this isn’t literal eating, what kind of participation is Jesus demanding?

Why does Jesus say there is “no life in you” apart from this?

Why were they frightened?

Why is it important that he says “it is I”, or better translated “I AM”?
