Matthew 11:23
Capernaum was, first of all, high. It was physically built upon a high elevation. Thus, by way of illustration, it might be said to be elevated to heaven. Secondly, this town was blessed above all others in that Jesus chose to dwell there. He did many miracles there. This place, and its people, were afforded great advantages.
However, those who had lived long before in Sodom would have responded better to the Truth of the Messiah than the people of Capernaum. This is not to say that Sodom got a raw deal. The Sodomites cannot say that they had no chance for repentance. However, those of Capernaum were afforded extra revelation, and yet many of them turned it down.
