Mark 6:1-6
Prophet without honor.
What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph? Aren't his sisters here with us? And they took offense at him.
Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." And he was amazed at their lack of faith.
I Jesus home town it is not a case of 'local boy makes good' but 'who does this jumped-up carpenter think he is?' It was not in line with Jesus' purpose to make a display of his powers in order to convince skeptics.
Why?
Jesus hometown are familiar with his family so they look down all men their include Jesus.
Even Jesus has wisdom to teach them but they still insist not confess their sins and give honor to Him.
Jesus does not make effort to convince skeptics. So if they do not faith in Jesus let them do what they like.
How?
How hard of man's heart! Jesus is my way, my truth and my life!
