Matthew 13:53-58
Mark 6:1-6a
=========
Mark 6:5‐6 ‐‐
“He could not do any miracles there, except lay His hands on a few sick people
and heal them. And He was amazed at
their lack of faith.”
Jesus chose to become fully human to live and walk as you
do. He walked like you yet
He performed miracles, spoke great wisdom, and lived in a way
that drew people to God. While living on
earth, He learned to commune and connect with God in a way that made Him an
incredible conduit for God’s life and work to flow through Him.
This verse presents the dichotomy of One who oozed faith and
those whose faith was so weak that God was not able to touch their lives in the
smallest way. In your life, there are
many areas where you exhibit great faith and experience God’s presence – but
what areas have you closed off from God?
Where have you subconsciously or deliberately excluded God due to
unbelief, doubt, or shame? Even
disobedience is a reflection of unbelief of who God is and what He says He will
do.
God wants to live and demonstrate His life in every area of
your life. There is no area from which
God wants to be excluded. The only thing
that keeps God from demonstrating His life and power is your faith to invite
Him to do so ‐‐ a faith that believes all things are possible because of God’s
grace, love, and desire to be involved with you. Jesus desired to do miracles in those
people’s lives. But their faith limited
what He did among them. Jesus wants you
to walk and live as He lived. Faith is
the portal into God’s world. Jesus is
our greatest example of a Man who by faith allowed God’s full magnificence to
be lived through Him. May your faith not
exclude God from any area of your life so that God’s full power, love, and
glory might be lived through you!
Hebrews
4:14‐16 ‐‐ “Therefore, since we have a great High Priest who has gone through
the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we
profess. For we do not have a high
priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have One who has
been tempted in every way, just as we are — yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with
confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time
of need.”
John 14:12 ‐‐
“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in Me will do what I have been
doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the
Father.”
