Mark 6:4-6

We need to appreciate and respect those called to Christ as ministers and the culture of the people they serve. Paul became all things to all men that he might save a few. Our message is given so that as many as possible can see the goodness of God and the salvation that He provides in Jesus Christ and be saved. 

God doesn’t want any of His creation to perish and the only way to Him is through the Body Of Christ that He gave up for all who choose to believe. The ultimate failure of man is to not accept the very gift from the Father that gives eternal life.

Just believe!

Jesus declares that it is normal for a prophet’s own people to reject the prophet. This statement reintroduces the issue of what true family is. Faithlife Bible.

Perhaps others were jealous of Jesus’ popularity and huge following. Their envy even took the form of violence against Christ. NKJ 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.

Matthew 13:57 (NKJV)

⁵⁷ So they were offended at Him.

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.”
