The people in Jesus' community could not surrender to the freedom that Jesus gives, because their minds had been set. They just could not accept that one of their own was so privileged and gifted/anointed. How do we react when we see our classmates, childhood friends, siblings and very close associates, prosper in their endeavors.
As a result of the behavior of the citizens of Jesus' hometown, the Lord did not perform any miracles there. Can you imagine the number of those who could have been liberated, the diseases that could have been healed? But no, they stood and watched Jesus pass by.
Today, the Lord is calling us to search our hearts. What is keeping us from surrendering to Him. Is it fear, stubbornness,... etc? Eschew them!!!come freely and openly to our Lord and He will give you rest.
