Personal Reflections For Pastors On The Lectionary Readings
Mark 6:1-13
Just as last week's Gospel Lesson was about great faith, this week's lesson is about great unbelief. So great was the unbelief, that even Jesus was amazed! Right away we see what the outcome of the unbelief in Nazareth was: he could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them. What a tragedy, that this community who had raised the Son of God could not swallow their pride and unbelief so they might see and enjoy the blessings of faith in Christ Jesus.
