Jesus was not able

"So Jesus was not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them. He was amazed at their lack of faith." (Mark 6:6)

Reflection: It's hard to imagine Jesus as incapable or powerless. But that reveals how much power he gets from cooperation with us. He doesn't want to act or live alone (who does?).

Until we believe (in faith) that we are always connected to Him and acting with Him, he just stands by in amazement at how long it takes for us to see Him (and trust His work).
