The last verse of Matthew 13 does not mean that Jesus’s power has anything to do with us. It wasn’t that Jesus couldn’t act in Nazareth. He does not need us at all to be who he is or do what he can do. It’s not like in the movie Elf when Santa’s sleigh can’t fly because there aren’t enough people that believe in him. The belief is what makes the sleigh’s magic. The people of Nazareth didn’t see miracles because they weren’t seeking them. I’m saying that again. They did not get the miracles because they weren’t seeking them. They let what they thought they knew about who Jesus was keep them from experiencing who he actually was.
