Hearing Versus Listening Matters
- People hear Jesus' words but often oppose them because they clash with their presuppositions and assumptions.
- Alistair Begg shows that hearing without true listening produces grumbling, not belief.
The Long Search Versus God Seeking
- Alistair recalls the BBC series The Long Search to highlight the common modern idea that people must seek God.
- He contrasts that with Genesis where Adam and Eve hid and God called, showing God seeks us first.
Divine Claims Produce Opposition
- Jesus' claim to have come down from heaven sparked opposition rather than gratitude among listeners.
- Begg frames this reaction as opposition rooted in theological presuppositions, not mere curiosity.
