“No Thanks. Not Interested!”

“…and [Jesus] did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.” (Matthew 13:58…Matthew 13:53-58 for full story.)

Are you kidding me?

Really?

The people there could have experienced miracles (help w their problems, direction in decision making, relational reconciliation and much more) in their lives…if they had only chosen to believe that Jesus was different than any other person who walked the Earth…ever…and do something with that belief?

What??!!

What’s even crazier is that they were “amazed” at Him (Jesus) because of His “wisdom” and “miraculous powers.” (verse 54)…yet became offended by Him. (verse 55)

Why didn’t they at least ask a few questions?…Look into Him and exactly who He said He was?…Learn more?…Investigate?…Test Him out?…???…Something, for Pete’s sake…don’t just shut Him out!!!

Instead, they just chose to not listen, not pay attention, to not even think about it. “No Thanks, Not Interested!!” Even if He could help them, not interested! Wow! Sick, but don’t want the medicine. Hungry, but won’t eat. Hmmm….

How about you? You listening? Paying attention? Believing? 

The quality of our lives is at stake with this very issue…

Who do we say Jesus is?

and

What are we going to do with this knowledge!!!

Big questions!! How are you answering?
