Life for missional Jesus was not easy; especially not in his own home of Nazareth.
\n1. Missional Jesus used public places to teach about the kingdom of God. This included public spaces in his home village.
\n2. Missional Jesus, evidently previously perceived as an ordinary Jewish young man, surprised the locals with his wisdom and miracles. Not only surprised but offended at his chutzpah<\/em>.
\n3. Missional Jesus observes, wryly so it seems, that prophets get honor everywhere except at home.
\n4. Missional Jesus\u2019 powers to heal are in part dependent upon the faith of those in need.
\n5. Missional Jesus was suprised by the response of his hometown to his message.
\nMark 6:1 \tJesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.
\n\u201cWhere did this man get these things?\u201d they asked. \u201cWhat\u2019s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? 3 Isn\u2019t this the carpenter? Isn\u2019t this Mary\u2019s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren\u2019t his sisters here with us?\u201d And they took offense at him.
\nMark 6:4 \tJesus said to them, \u201cOnly in their own towns, among their relatives and in their own homes are prophets without honor.\u201d 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 He was amazed at their lack of faith.
\nThen Jesus went around teaching from village to village. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
