1. Mark 6:1–6 (ESV)
  2. Application

Jesus Christ as chief prophet

Mark 6:1–6 (ESV)

1 He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.

A final application to make is that unbelief is not the response which Jesus expects from his people. He expects us to respond to him in repentance and faith. The fact that he does only a limited amount of miracles in Nazareth is a stark reminder to us that those who will not come to Jesus in faith cannot expect any salvation from him. There is no forgiveness for those who refuse to repent and believe; there is no forgiveness for those who persist in unbelief. There is only an eternity of anguish and ruin in a place called hell. As it says in in the Heidelberg Catechism, Lord's Day 12: Only those are saved who by a true faith are grafted into Christ and accept all His benefits.
