Not all the Jews rejected Christ, but many of the spiritual leaders were against Him because they had no spiritual discernment and they perceived Him as a threat to their position.  There were also many people who only followed Jesus for self-serving reasons.  The rejection of Christ was foretold by God and there are still many people today who will not hear. The Apostle Paul is an example of one called by God, who rejected Christ until God turned him around.  In the end, God will have those He desires to have whether Jew or Gentile. John 1:11. VF-2425.
