Disbelief is the failure to recognize or accept something that you ought to believe-You choose not to accept it. disbelief renders the work of faith impossible, for without faith, it is impossible toplease God.

His own family and friends where he grew up were very skeptical of his preaching.They knew his parantage and family so how could what He said be true.He was only one of them.So they refused to believe that Jesus was the son of God.He was just the carpenter`s son.What wouldHe know.

Even if Jesus can do His miracle among His relatives, its still no use because this disbelief will think that miracle perform by Jesus is sort of magic comes from the hands of carpenter. They wondering too much about Jesus miracles without knowing the true purpose of it. I can assume that disbelief people is an ignorant people who call them self a Christian but still hesitates about their salvation and disbelief if God can help them when they are in big big trouble.

Disbelief is to stubbornly refuse to believe, in this case, in Jesus as the messiah, the annointed son of God. That was why they gave a long chronology of Jesus`s roots, according to what they knew: A carpentor`s son, born to Mary and Joseph, and not differnt from the many such other children they saw around - so in utter stubbornness, they mocked him and provoked his anger - demanding to see what they heard about. This charge to prove himself was like putting God to the test, hence breaking one cardinal law of Jesus - not to subject God to the test. Sometimes as believers, we know what the word of God promises, but because of our own disbelieve, based on our knowledge, rather than God`s word; we restrict God`s ability to perform wonderful miracles.

Hello dear friends, This has huge significant to us today.Jesus was born not as king in a kraal and he grew up as a carpenter.So people who saw Jesus from childhood didn`t believe b`se they knew him from A to Z so they knew his family and some there hearts were stiff to the extend that even when he performed miracles, they still doubted him.People`s point of view will always look from your background and then determine what you can and what you cannot do which is not the same principle with God.So they used his backgroud to disguise his words and miracles and hence making Jesus perform few miracles in his home town.

disbelief means unbelieving to someone or no sympathy, no trust or avoiding ones dignity, without respect for personality.the people in nazareth has lack of knowledge who realy jesus was but when the time of jesus christ come as a messiah and ferforming his mission as a prophet some of the people of israel was believed specialy those who witness the miracles and those were cured to their sickness and haved faith, most of the people in his country were educated by the teaching of the parables but some are cannot understand but when jesus was died on the cross and witness the compassion and sacrifices they do believe specially the followers or the apostles, until jesus christ was risen.One of his disciple name thomas is an example of the unbelievers and if this man see jesus and feel the wound at the side, he will believed, so peace be with the people of israel, now at this very time the lebanon and israel is at war because they are lack of humbleness and diplomacy no chance for peace and many workers of the diffirent countries were affected, the disbelief to love and peace are wasteful, god is love or love is god.

A Prophet Without Honor

He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciples followed him. When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands? Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Jude, and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" They were offended at him.
Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house." He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people, and healed them. He marveled because of their unbelief.
