To read the texts click on the texts: Isaiah 7:1-9; Mt 11:20-24
The woes pronounced against Chorazin and Bethsaida are because
of the refusal of the people in them to repent. The people of these towns did
believe in the miracles, but this belief did not translate into a change of
mind and heart.This change was the primary purpose of the miracles of Jesus. Also,
the Gentile cities of Tyre and Sidon that were regarded as biblical symbols of
evil would fare better on the day of judgement that Chorazin and Bethsaida.
The miraculous and extra-ordinary cannot always sustain faith. Faith is a gift from God to anyone who wants to receive it and is willing to
open their heart and mind. More often than not a kind word or a gentle touch can
lead people to repentance.
