Even in rejection Jesus continued in His mission…we cannot let the approval or disapproval of men determine God’s will for our life. Those closest to you may be your biggest obstacle. If the Holy Spirit has called you to it… He will get you through it!
Just B.E.L.I.E.V.E. in Him and His ability to do what alone you cannot! Nothing is impossible for those who believe.
A prophet is not without honor except in his own country is a maxim still repeated and still true today. Perhaps others were jealous of Jesus’ popularity and huge following. Their envy even took the form of violence against Christ. NKJV Study Bible
Mark 6:4–6 (NKJV)
4 But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” 5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.
