Today we are reading Matthew 13. In this chapter we read about Jesus being rejected in his hometown. “And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there, and coming to his hometown he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.” And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.” Matthew 13:53-58 ESV It’s hard for us to imagine Jesus being rejected by ANYONE! The people of his hometown do not believe in Him. Jesus says that when we are rejected for His sake, that people are actually rejecting Him. How can you respond in a positive way to this rejection? God bless you to be a faithful witness of Jesus. Pastor Tim
