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. I. THE MIGHTY WORKS WROUGHT BY CHRIST. II. THE REASON THESE MIGHTY WORKS HAVE NOT BEEN WROUGHT ON A LARGER SCALE. 1. Is it because God is unwilling to save sinners? His nature, etc., forbid such an idea. 2. Is it that God is unable to save? 3. Is it that the benefits of the atonement are limited to a few? 4. Is it that there is some defect in the Gospel? Man is the cause — unbelief.Conclusion: 1. Unbelief is absurd and unreasonable. God has ever kept His word. 2. Unbelief is absolutely criminal. Implies forgetfulness of past favours, etc. 3. Unbelief is ruinous. It prevents man's salvation, etc. 4. The great importance of faith. (A. Weston.) Parallel Verses KJV: And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. |
