Why Jesus Could Not Do Many Mighty Works In His Hometown. Mark 6 by Yadid(m): 2:46pm On Jun 18, 2021
Why Jesus could not do many mighty works in His hometown. Mark 6:1-6

Have you ever wondered that Jesus never failed to perform a miracle because the person concerned lacked faith or was doubting? Even in His hometown where He could not do many mighty works, there was no case of someone being taken to Him and Jesus was not able to deliver such a person. Jesus could not do many miracles in His hometown because they did not believe He was of God, so they did not go to Him for healing and co. That's what happened, not that they went to Him but Jesus was unable to do anything for them. No! They did not go to Him to meet their needs because they did not believe Him. The few that went to Him, He healed them all.
Mark 6:1-6
[1]And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
[2]And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
[3]Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
[4]But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
[5]And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
[6]And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
Doubt or no doubt, Jesus is ever able. The scripture says, even if we believe not, He abides faithful. (2 Timothy 2:13).
The situation is akin to a medical doctor walking into a village where the people mostly do not trust in western medicine and as such refused to go out with their ailments to see the doctor. We will say the doctor has very few patients in that area, will we not? We will, but is it a matter of the doctor being a quack? No! If we say the doctor only attended to few patients in that village, we will not mean that the doctor did not have the medical knowledge and ability to treat their ailments. It is solely a matter of the villagers not responding to the doctor because they lack trust in western medicine. This is the analogy of what happened in the hometown of Jesus Christ, not that He suddenly became unable and powerless because of their unbelief or that they went to Him and He could not heal them. The few that went to Him all received their healings. Unbelief or not. It is not our puny faith that empowers God. Belief or unbelief, God is faithful and powerful still. Amen!
