As we continue our walk with Jesus through the Gospel of Mark, we come across a tragic contrast. Having just witnessed the strength of faith as exhibited by the woman with the issue of blood and Jairus, the synagogue ruler in the previous story, Jesus is met with and amazed by the lack of faith in His own hometown. It appears that those who should have known Him best refuse to know Him as the One He has been showing Himself to be. We often hear about the strength of faith. This morning we will be looking at the stubborn strength of unbelief.
