And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Ye have not his word abiding in you - Though ye believe the Scriptures to be of God, yet ye do not let them take hold of your hearts - his word is in your mouth, but not in your mind. What a miserable lot! to read the Scriptures as the true sayings of God, and yet to get no salvation from them! Thy word, says David, (Psalms 119:11), have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. This, these Jews had not done. Reader, hast thou?
