As we continue to look at Mark 6:1-5 remember that Jesus own hometown people did not believe He was the messiah. Look at what the consequences of that are in our verse for today:
Mark 6:5 (New King James Version)
5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.
This verse does not say Jesus choose not to or decided not to, it says "He could do no mighty work there". Why is that? I believe it is pretty simple...they did not believe or put their faith in him. If you study scripture you know that many times as Jesus healed folks He told them your faith has made you well!!! Same thing here! I have a good idea that the few sick that He did heal as told in verse 5 had faith in Him!
So this brings us to the question for us this morning. Has Jesus had a mighty work in your life? From what I see in God's Word all you have to do is believe and put your faith in Christ and mighty works will happen! Salvation will be the first mighty work and I praise the Lord for that this morning!!!
