Every now and then, there are bits of a Sunday talk that end up on the editing floor. This week, I had to trim a bit so that you could all eventually go eat lunch. But I wanted to share a bit that was cut to give you online followers a little something extra.
The scripture is from Mark 6:5 and it refers to that fact that Jesus was having a hard time performing any miracles in his hometown of Nazarus. It reads: "He could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them. And he was amazed at their disbelief."
Isn't it interesting? JESUS, in all his spiritual perfection, being UNABLE to perform a deed of power in his hometown. To what degree were the miracles of Jesus a CO-CREATION with those He blessed? What was the consciousness that limited His power and caused such disbelief?
It is, to me, a reminder to step outside the limitations I see in people based on my past knowing of them. Imagine if you grew up next door to Jesus. If 30 years from now, the kid next door showed up in your town and started saying he was divine, how would you respond?
What miracles do I miss because I expect something different?

Here is the passage.
Mark 6:5 "And he could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them."
Decide for yourself: Is it that Jesus COULD do no deed of power or that Jesus WOULD do no deed of power?? I like to think that if Jesus COULD have helped, he WOULD.
As I see it, the lesson here is that we must be open and faith filled to receive the blessings of the Christ.
Thanks for sharing your viewpoint!
