This chapter shows one thing Jesus always chided His disciples against which is unbelief.
vs 17 said - These signs shall follow us all that believe...
It is quite pitiable that we that believe in Jesus, who are expected to live a supernatural life far above satanic oppression still share the same fate that non-believers face.
Look at the signs that should follow us..
- We will cast out demons
- We will speak new tongues
- No hurt whatsoever can come to us
- And if peradventure we stumble over sick persons, we heal them all.
Why does it seem like we don't see much of these?
Simple - Unbelief
