UNIT 24: THE REJECTION OF JESUS

Even though Jesus performed amazing miracles, including raising someone from the dead, the religious leaders rejected Jesus and managed to turn the people against Him too. Their sinful hearts were hard. Even this rejection, however, was part of God's plan to bring salvation to the world.
