Matthew 13:54,55

Matthew 13:54,55 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Jesus went about teaching and healing the sick people. But in His own home town, He had a tough time. They had seen Jesus growing up; they had known Him as a little boy. They knew His brothers and His sisters, who still lived there in the community. But now Jesus was someone Who was famous. Perhaps they thought that Jesus was getting a little too uppity for them. Perhaps some of the old women remarked, “Why, I used to change Jesus’ diapers when He was just a baby. He was just like all of the other little babies in our community. He was no one special” But Jesus was special. And everyone else knew it. Everyone, that is, except His close acquaintances there in Nazareth. But even they would someday realize that Jesus was not just a teacher; Jesus was the very Son of God, Who would save them from their sins!
