Today's Verse:
kjv@Matthew:13:53 kjv@Matthew:13:54 kjv@Matthew:13:55 kjv@Matthew:13:56 kjv@Matthew:13:57 kjv@Matthew:13:58 Jesus is shown over and over to have healed all of those brought to Him. This does not say He did not any, it says that He did not many, therefore we can assume that not many are coming or being brought to Him. In the thousands of healings and mighty works already brought to our attention kjv@Matthew:8-12 by Jesus direct or by proxy the participants belief is only mentioned three times, yet all were healed. No instruction is given to His enabled proxies as to how to determine a potential recipients level of belief prior to, nor any prohibition given to healing if not found. It is obvious that this sharp reduction of works is human imposed by the unwillingness of the individuals and or those that would bring them to Jesus. Astonishment rarely results in belief, it nearly always results in disbelief or fearful recoil. In the case of a magician we are amused and entertained by disbelief, even curiosity as to how the offense is performed. With a comedian offense likewise is anticipated and pleasurable. This is because the astonishment is predicted to be confined to safe limits. In the case of a potential messiah however it is both a prerequisite and an absolute deal breaker especially as the possible limitlessness is detected and repentance called for. The word dict:strongs G570 disbelief also can denote disobedience. If the calling or the impulse is to come, then the intellect here is causing a road block to obedience. Where does the body of mighty works go in our minds during these rationalization? Are they hiding? Their weight in our decisions has been lifted. And because of what?
