Who Can Make Them Understand?

Matthew 11 Continued...

Woe to Unrepentant Cities
Christ had done the work of an evangelist. Imagine, the Son of God, preaching to His creation! Yet they were not all receptive, see the importance of changing their ways, or believe that God knew better for their lives, leaving Jesus Christ to accomplished his many works to great apathy.

Some people imagine the days of Christ's earth ministry as a time when sin should have been obvious and therefore repentance easy, but these folks needed faith like we need it.

When someone doesn't want to believe, they won't believe. 

Tell someone God touched your eyes and gave you sight, they'll doubt you were blind; show them the teacher healing the woman with heavy bleeding, and they'll claim it were coincidence or worse yet, a show.

God must help us believe in the unseen, in spite of ourselves.

In John 20:29, Jesus encourages us:
Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
It gets hard sometimes, to believe in what we have yet to see. Some of us haven't seen lame men walk, demons cast out and frail limbs restored, however by the gift of faith we can (Ephesians 2:8). We need only accept it.
