John 5:39 tells us that they were so in love with the law and the Scriptures that they searched them hoping for eternal life there. They thought doing all the right stuff and keeping the law perfectly (which is of course impossible) would merit them eternal life. All the while they missed who these Scriptures were talking about. The Lord Jesus!!! They tended to focus on the external deeds while overlooking what God is really concerned about, the heart. (Matthew 23:25-26)
