What Miracles? - Mat. 13:57

From 11/22/06 reading:

"Then Jesus told them, 'A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family." And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief." Mat. 13:57


People are so much more willing to accept truth from strangers rather than someone they know well. Just prior to this verse it says that, basically because they knew Jesus' family well, "...they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him." Because of this, Jesus did relatively few miracles in their presence. Is this the answer to those (as well as me) who ask why we SEEM to see so many fewer miracles now than back in O.T. times -- or in other parts of the world? Could it be that BECAUSE of our unbelief that we see the H.S do less? Is there less evidence of miracles in the apostate church (Laodicea) of the end times?

Jesus, I will ask you again, help me in my unbelief!!

Today's reading: Mat. 11:13
