HOUR THREE - Jonathan Gray - beforeus.com - The Forbidden Secret Ch 29: The Rescuer rejected - WHY WAS HE REJECTED?

Why did the religious
leaders reject him?
The rejection of the true Messiah was prophesied in Isaiah,
Daniel and the Psalms — in prophecies which were
acknowledged by the early Jews to be messianic.
These prophecies indicated that he would be rejected by the very
people who foretold his coming:
...the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom
man despiseth, to him whom the nation [of Israel] abhorreth...
(Isaiah 49:7)
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from
him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isaiah 53:3)
... despised of the people. (Psalm 22:6)
But the prophecies also indicated that he would be accepted by
others:
Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship. (Isaiah 49:7)
So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their
mouths at him, for that which had not been told them shall they
see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.(Isaiah
52:15)
Yes, they had the knowledge of the coming Messiah, but when
he came they didn't want him. The question arises, Why did the
nation's leaders reject this Person? Wasn't there enough
evidence for them to know?
Rescue rejected: why?
It wasn't lack of evidence. That was not the problem. . . . . 

. . . .To accept his claims was not easy. It meant there was much
rethinking to do.
If you want to know why they rejected Jesus, you only have to
look around and see why people reject him today. It hurts our
pride to think that we are sinners in need of a Savior.
Acceptance requires not a superficial surface change, but a total
transformation of one's life.
