Jesus did amazing miracles everywhere he went.

But when he visited his hometown of Nazareth, they didn’t have faith in him.

As a result, he was only able to do a few healings. 

Doesn’t that seem strange? Why was this the case?

Was a “lack of faith” like some kind of kryptonite for Jesus?

Why couldn’t Jesus do many miracles in his hometown?

Let's investigate together in Episode 31 of the Investigate Jesus video podcast!

There’s a famous story of a bleeding woman who was healed by Jesus.

She reasoned, “If only I touch his garments, I will be healed.” 

Jesus told her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.” 

But what exactly did the woman have faith in?

Why did the bleeding woman want to touch Jesus’s clothes?

So what’s your view of Jesus?

What demons understood but most people miss is that the real Jesus caused fear.

For example when Jesus calmed a raging storm, his disciples were terrified. 

They saw his power and authority over nature and were afraid.

When you read the gospels, you’ll find this isn’t a unique response.

When people see the real Jesus, there is no indifference.

So who is the real Jesus?

Jesus’s parables aren’t little stories about being a “good person.”

Rather they’re more often warnings about coming judgment.

But his parables require serious reflection to understand. 🤔

While some parables standalone, the five key parables in Mark 4 are linked together.

And Jesus uses props to illustrate…

1. Sower 🧑‍🌾

2. Lamp 🕯️

3. Scales ⚖️

4. Harvest 🌾

5. Plant 🌱

But even after reading these parables, we might STILL miss his point about judgment.

Thankfully for us, Jesus ties them together with a terrifying illustration! (hint: ⛈️🚣🌊)

So…what does Jesus say about judgement day?

In Mark 3:20-34, Jesus is accused by the Jewish religious leaders of being demonic.

They said he drove out demons by the authority of the "prince of demons."

Notice that they didn't say hewasn't driving out demons.

That fact they couldn't deny.

But their accusation was about HOW Jesus was driving them out.

So let's take their question seriously. Was Jesus demonic?

Jesus was a Jewish rabbi. A master teacher.

But many had trouble understanding his teachings.

Even his own disciples were often confused by his parables.

So did Jesus use parables to confuse or enlighten?

The Gospel writers, like Mark, tell us that large crowds followed Jesus.

So why did Jesus choose twelve from among the many to be his apostles? (Mark 3:7-21)

Moreover, why did he go up on a mountain to appoint them? ⛰️

Jesus was criticized by religious leaders for breaking Sabbath laws (see Mark 2:23-3:6).

Frankly, Christians often don't treat this seriously enough.

But since we're trying to make an informed decision about Jesus, we really need to understand.

So...did Jesus break Sabbath laws? Or were the religious leaders making a mountain out of a molehill?

Jesus was questioned by religious leaders about why his followers didn't fast (see Mark 2:18-22).

That is, why they didn't refrain from eating for a specific period of time for religious purposes.

The insecurity behind the question was, "Do you think you're better than we are?"

But Jesus never said that his followers wouldn't fast.

Actually, he said they would fast...only not yet.

So why did Jesus say his followers would fast later?

Jesus was criticized and eventually condemned by religious leaders.

One of the things they hated is that Jesus socialized with tax collectors.

So why did these religious leaders think this was such a big deal?

Well...if you understand the political backdrop of the day, it was a big deal.

And at the same time, it's also really good news...
