Gospel of Mark - Mark 6:1-8 - Prog 28

Have you heard the phrase, “Familiarity breeds contempt?” In our passage, Mark 6:1-8, this phrase is exemplified. Our Lord Jesus had come into his own country, his own town and into his own family. Here our Lord is teaching in their synagogue. People, hearing Him teach, were astonished. What were they amazed at? They were amazed at His wisdom and His miracles. After all, they thought, 'This man is only an ordinary carpenter.' Jesus, also, was amazed - at their unbelief for they were offended at Him. Jesus’ words are so true, “A prophet is not with out honor except in his hometown, and among his relatives and in his household.” Have you ever experienced this rejection from anyone who is close to you because of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ? It does happen doesn’t it? Ephesians 1:6 We are accepted in the Beloved.
