I was really struck by the significance of Matthew 13:58. The background is that Jesus is in His home church and home community preaching... and instead of welcoming Him, they were offended. They kept reasoning, "How could he say or do such things...isn't this just that carpenter's son? He's no one special! Why is everyone making such a big deal of this man?"
As a result we are told: "Now He did NOT many mighty works there because of their unbelief."
So my question is... what mighty works is He not able to do in our lives today because of OUR unbelief? Have we tried in some way to rationalize away the divinity of our Lord and Savior?
Tomorrow's reading: Gen. 37-38 and Ps. 9
