Unbelief

We see, in the last place, how exceedingly sinful is the sin of unbelief. Two remarkable expressions are used in teaching this lesson. One is that our Lord ‘could do no mighty work’ at Nazareth, by reason of the hardness of the people’s hearts. The other is, that ‘he marveled because of their unbelief.’ The one shows us that unbelief has a power to rob men of the highest blessings. The other shows that it is so suicidal and unreasonable a sin that even the Son of God regards it with surprise.
