Subject: Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? |
Bible Note: Steve, Your saying (he chose) not to do miracles, because of (their unbelief.) OK, Lets look at from the other direction then. (Brackets, and Capitals for Emphasis) Matthew 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they ( BROUGHT UNTO HIM ALL SICK ) people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. Matthew 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, ( HE WITHDREW HIMSELF FROM THENCE:) and ( GREAT MULTITUDES FOLLOWED HIM,) and he healed them all; Luke 4:40 Now when the sun was setting, ( ALL THEY THAT HAD ANY SICK ) with divers diseases (BROUGHT THEM UNTO HIM;) and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. Luke 6:17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, (WHICH CAME TO HEAR HIM, AND TO BE HEALED OF THEIR DISEASES;) Luke 6:19 ( AND THE WHOLE MULTITUDE SOUGHT TO TOUCH HIM:) for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. It appears from the preceding verses, when the people (did believe) they came (TO) him, sought him out, tried to touch him, when he withdrew they followed. In light of these scriptures, using your reasoning, what then is the determining factor, as to why (he chose) to heal them all? Was it their belief (alone) or was it in conjunction with the actions (movement) they took towards him? Because we see, there were many healed? What I am saying is, there belief (faith) mixed with the action (seeking), caused the Virtue of God, to flow thereby causing the miracles. God wants for all to be (healed, saved,) but that event cannot take place in our lives until we come to HIM. Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: ( FOR HE THAT COMETH ) to God must believe that he is, and that he is a ( REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.) In Him Imm |
