“And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.”
Matthew 13:58 KJV
It was in Jesus’s hometown of Nazareth that the people became offended and began to turn against Him. Jesus said, “There’s only one place a prophet isn’t honored—his own hometown!” And their unbelief kept Him from doing many mighty miracles in Nazareth. A familiar attitude with God and His holiness leads to hardness of heart and unbelief. The children of Israel had seen mighty miracles from God, the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, daily manna, water from the rock to drink, not one being feeble or sickly among them. Yet they could not enter the promised land because of unbelief. An evil heart of unbelief is like a slap in the face of Jesus. Inspite of their unbelief, He had mercy on them all. Let’s be attached to Jesus by the faith He died to give us. Let’s not be high minded, but fear God. Let’s not be in ignorance and unbelief, but labour to enter into His rest by faith in the finished work of the Cross. Thank You Jesus for the faith You have given us to believe wholeheartedly in You. Amen!
