In the measure that we believe it is given back to us and without that faith it is impossible to please God. Spiritually dead churches produce spiritually dead people without hope and without joy in their salvation which is the strength and right of those who place their trust in Him. The power of the Holy Spirit was given to us to bring about God’s will on earth. Without faith in His power we can accomplish nothing.
A prophet is not without honor except in his own country is a maxim still repeated and still true today. Perhaps others were jealous of Jesus’ popularity and huge following. Their envy even took the form of violence against Christ.
Mark 6:4-6
4 But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” 5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.
