Paul was so encouraged as he met some of the brethren when he got to Rome. But when he called the leading Jews to his house. It was another story.
Our missionary began his appeal to these leaders by "solemnly testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, from both the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening". (Acts 28:11-31)
Some were persuaded but others would not believe. Such a big argument ensued. As these guys were leaving Paul quoted Isaiah 6:10 - "And they have closed their eyes; otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and return, and I would heal them."
It sure is serious business to miss out on God's healing.
Let us pray to have open eyes and ears and a heart desiring to understand God's truth. We need You healing, Lord.
