STOP LOOKING DOWN ON JESUS

Matthew 13:55-58 (LB)

“How is this possible?”… “He’s just a carpenter’s son, and we know Mary his mother and his brothers… And his sisters—they all live here. How can he be so great?” And they became angry with him! Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own country, and among his own people!” And so he did only a few great miracles there, because of their unbelief.

There are many believers who may be quick to say they are not looking down on Jesus, but though they say this with their mouths, their heart and attitude show a different thing.

The way people look down on Jesus is by choosing to see Him any less than all He is. Whenever we refuse to see Jesus as all that He is, we cut ourselves out of experiencing His fullness. We cut ourselves out of the manifestation of His glory and power in certain areas of our lives. When the people from Jesus’ hometown chose to see Him as just a carpenter’s son, they could not experience the fullness of the glory and power that God wanted to manifest in their lives through Him. They could not have faith in Him and He could not do many mighty works there – not because He did not have the power, but because of their unbelief.

The way you see and receive Jesus determines the power and glory of God that you experience in your life. “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name”, (John 1:10-12).

Faith Declaration:
Jesus is my all in all. He can do all things and nothing is impossible with Him. My faith is in Jesus.
