The Pharisees rejected Jesus because it interfered with the way they wanted to live. And that is why people reject Him today. Jesus said, "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed" (John 3:19-20).
People don't reject Jesus because they have carefully examined the evidence and have determined that it is not convincing enough.
They don't reject Him because they have read through the Scriptures and have found some apparent contradiction.
They don't reject Him because of the so-called hypocrisy of some in the church.
They reject Him because He interferes with the way they want to live.
