1. The unbeliever’s rejection is willful, always deliberate. The unbeliever does see and hear, yet he refuses to really open his eyes and ears. He refuses to understand. But why does a person act so illogically by rebelling and refusing to understand? Christ answers this question by saying, “This people’s heart is waxed gross” (Mt. 13:15). The Greek is “this people’s heart has grown fat [overweight].” Being fat indicates sensuality and senselessness. To eat and eat, adding weight upon weight, is living after the flesh; and living after the flesh makes no sense at all. It is sensual and senseless. Christ is therefore saying that the unbeliever has become so sensual and senseless that he rebels and refuses to understand the gospel of God.
⇒ His sensuality is due to worldline
