Minister: Pastor CJ Counts | Series: Gospel of John | As we wrap up chapter 8, we see Jesus finish up his conversation in the temple treasury. During his conversation, he has dealt with the topic of why it is so hard for non-believers to understand the message of the gospel. In our text, he was dealing with people who knew scripture well and went to church every weekend, and yet did not know God. We will learn in our text today that the issue for these folks was that their religious pride blinded them to their need for a savior.
