A prophet without honor in his own town

 Mark 6:1-6

Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.

Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.

Why?

People in Jesus's hometown, they knew Jesus but even though they heard many miracles and gave amazing teaching, they refused to trust Jesus, they wonder about his identity. They don't believe Him.

Their original idea limited their mind and lose the chance to be saved.

Even Jesus preached the gospel but still many people refused to believe, so as we preach the gospel many people don't believe it is a normal situation. Do not subset or distress about our work, It is the power of the Lord. we do our responsibility.

How?

This the world most people don't like Jesus, but the sick need doctor! Only humble men need Jesus.
