Marvellous Unbelief
Mark 6:5-6
And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands on a few sick folk, and healed them.…


Unbelief, as regards Jesus Christ, is surprising because of —

I. MAN'S PRONENESS TO EXERCISE FAITH.

II. THE NUMBER AND POWER OF THE EVIDENCES WHICH ENCOURAGE FAITH IN HIM. The people whose unbelief amazed Jesus had many and weighty reasons for faith.

1. His holy life.

2. His wise teaching (ver. 2; Luke 4:22).

3. His mighty works (ver. 2).

4. The agreement of these things with the Messianic predictions (Luke 4:18-21).

III. THE DREAD CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH UNBELIEF. By unbelief man —

1. Foregoes the most precious blessings.

2. Incurs the most terrible condemnation (John 3:16-19; John 8:24).

(W. Joules.)
