Jesus teaching in the Temple, from the book Standard Bible Story Readers, Book Five (1928) Authors O. A. Stemler and Bess Bruce Cleaveland
Matthew 13:58 makes me sad.
The people of Jesus’ hometown did not get the benefit of his blessings because of their unbelief. If you let that sink in and then read Hebrews 3, we see a similar statement at the end of that chapter:
” … they were unable to enter because of their unbelief.” – Hebrews 3:19
The children of Israel failed to enter the rest because of their lack of faith – even after all of the signs and miracles they witnessed.
So many that were born and raised in a Christian family turn away from the God. They have been given the knowledge and lived the lifestyle, but they choose to believe something else.
They have been warned and God has turned away from them without offering a single blessing. Why bless them when there is no desire for blessings? Why fill needs when they think they don’t need anything?
There are so many in that precarious state right now – What are some things you can do to help the ones you know?
