When asked the deep theological question: "does man have free will or does God completely control every decision?" -- someone once answered that with "Yes, Yes, Next Question!" :) As Pastor Mark teaches today, you'll learn that there is truth to that -- and we probably won't figure it out or understand it until we get home. Of course, Jesus desires that everyone be saved, and that was explained to the Pharisees - as we are studying today. The hearts of so many of them were hypocritical and hardened. Jesus continued to give opportunity for a changed mind and heart, yet some just didn't believe or follow Him.
