The Unrecognised Jesus

Acts 13:27-31

The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognise Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed. When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead, and for many days he was seen by those who had travelled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people. (NIVUK)

Paul's missionary activity was all about helping people to recognise Jesus as God's Saviour, and respond to Him in repentance and faith (Acts 20:21). Speaking in the synagogue in Pisidian Antioch to displaced Jews and God-seeking Gentiles (Acts 13:13-16), Paul started by saying that the religious leaders in Jerusalem did not realise who Jesus was. Despite His amazing words and miraculous signs, they failed to connect Him with the prophecies in Scripture, even though these were read out in their worship services every Sabbath.
