When Jesus Marvels

Mark 6:1-6

Because Jesus marvels at extreme faith, we must acknowledge His greatness.

1. Jesus is great because of His ability.

Mark 6:1–2 1 Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him. 2 And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!

2. Jesus is great because of His identity.

Mark 6:3-4 3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him. 4 But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”

3. Jesus greatness should lead to a great faith that makes Him marvel.

Mark 6:5-6 5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.
