Because of Unbelief

“And he could do no mighty work .... And he marvelled because of their unbelief”

                                                                                                         

                                                                                  Mark 6:5,6.

There was a town in Galilee, when Jesus walked the earth wherein His coming brought no joy, His going left no mirth; No leper hailed Him from afar; no crippled child was brought; No blind man groped a way to Him; no sick His healing sought.

He could not free them from their sin, or give their pain relief, He could not work His miracles, because of unbelief.

The hand that fashioned all the worlds and spread the heavens above,

Was impotent to help or save, or cast the demons out,

The arm of strength grew weak and small before men’s scornful doubt.

Today, as then, Christ’s mighty works the world will not receive; Omnipotence is powerless when men will not believe.
