12:37 他雖然在他們面前行了許多神蹟，他們還是不信他。
12:38 這是要應驗先知以賽亞的話，說：主啊，我們所傳的有誰信呢？主的膀臂向誰顯露呢？
12:39 他們所以不能信，因為以賽亞又說：
12:40 主叫他們瞎了眼，硬了心，免得他們眼睛看見，心裡明白，回轉過來，我就醫治他們。
12:41 以賽亞因為看見他的榮耀，就指著他說這話。
Though he had done so many signs before them,
they still did not believe in him, so that the word spoken by the prophet
Isaiah might be fulfilled:
"Lord, who has believed what he heard
from us,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been
revealed?"
Therefore they could not believe. For again
Isaiah said,
"He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
and understand with their heart, and turn,
and I would heal them."
Isaiah said these things because he saw his
glory and spoke of him.

這裡讓我們認識到：信心不是憑眼見。正如耶穌行神蹟時，有許多人看見，但是他們竟然還是不信，不接受耶穌基督為救主！
因此，信心不是從人來，是從上帝來的。更重要的是，主權在上帝。要不是上帝的恩典，人正如先知以賽亞所說：「主叫他們瞎了眼，硬了心，免得他們眼睛看見，心裡明白，回轉過來，我就醫治他們。」
人之所以能信是看見上帝的榮耀，正如先知以賽亞。但是這不是肉身的眼睛，而是上帝所賜信心的眼睛，正如今日我們能信，也適用信心的眼睛，看見上帝的榮耀！
願讀這篇文章的人，上帝賜下信心的眼光，讓你看見上帝在基督裡的榮光，而堅心跟隨主耶穌到永生！
