A few did, but the whole didn’t, and the power of darkness won over in their hearts. Even all the way through the beginning of The Book of Acts, even all the way up to Acts 7, the Jewish people rejected the message of the Messiah. It’s truly a sad state of affairs, heartbreaking for us to see, and one that had to break God’s heart, and continues to break his heart. Again, the Apostle Paul gives us a glimpse into this, when he writes the Roman believers, “Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes” (Romans 10:1-4, ESV). The double application of this makes itself known, that this just isn’t Paul’s thoughts, but the mind of the Spirit himself.
