After Israel rejected Jesus Christ's gospel, I would assume that those who were not of the faith of Jesus would have not believed in the grace that came from Jesus. How can you believe in grace and not the one who gives it to you, you cannot. Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him. Matthew 12:14. The Pharisees and the religious leaders of the day wanted to kill Jesus because they did not believe in him and the grace that He gave. From what I read you would think that Israel would believe in Jesus and the Grace that He offered because of all the things that He did for them throughout the Old Testament. They did not as you tell by the verse; I showed you above.
Today we do not have access to Jesus in the flesh today and they did, and they still had hardened hearts toward Jesus. They wanted nothing to do with his Grace, His teaching, and His ministry. instead of receiving His grace, they wanted Him dead. Conspiracy to Kill Jesus- Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council meeting, and they were saying, “What are we doing in regard to the fact that this man is performing many signs? John 11:47. The title of this says it all that they conspired to kill Jesus.
Let that sink in they had Jesus in the flesh they denied Him. They wanted nothing to do with Jesus. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;1 john 4:2. This verse is saying the spirit that confesses Jesus was in the flesh is from God. So, they say that Jesus was flesh in this verse. Meditate on that today!!!
I will leave it there for today I believe the last two questions deserve their own post to finish the continuing message on Grace from Jesus.
