1 | Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? | Luke 9:42 | bowler | 207043 | ||
I have been pondering about the following - There are a number of instances where Jesus healed people who did not necessarily exhibt faith from what we could tell by what was written. That is not to say definitively that they did not have faith, we just don't know for sure. Some instances where Jesus Heals - Mathew 4:24, 8:16, 17, 12:15 – 21, 12:22, 14:14, 15:30, 19:2, 19:14, 21:14, Luke 5:15, 9:42, 22:51, John 5:1 - 9. Here are some instances where Jesus healed those who it was written did have faith and were healed - Mathew 8:8, 9:2-8, 15:22 – 28, Mark 10:47-52, Luke 7:44-48, 17:17-19, Here is my question - Why is it that Jesus did not do many miracles at Nazareth because of their unbelief? Mathew 13:58 And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief. I can see that the context is that "they" were saying that He was a local with family there, but they admit that He was doing the miracles, but then they took offense at Him. Seeing as how Jesus did miracles of healing when around the unbelieving Pharisees and Scribes and Sadducees, I am trying to understnad why it made a difference there at Nazareth that they were full of unbelief? Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

bowler, I've heard this presented as He COULD NOT because of their lack of faith. It seems to me the answer is right there in the text. Not that He couldn't do them, but He DID NOT do them BECAUSE OF their unbelief. God is sovereign! It seems to me the answer is simply because they rejected Him and by his sovereign will He did not perform many miracles. Steve |
