Mark 6:1-6 ~ many who heard Him were astonished

 





Mark 6:1-6




He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.

And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands?

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” 
And they took offense at him. 

4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” 

 And he could do no mighty work there,
except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
And he marveled because of their unbelief.

And he went about among the villages teaching.


Oh Little Town of... Nazareth
How still we see thee lie


Matthew 7

24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”




Briefly, let's say archaeologists have found a population of 480 people in the hometown of Mary, Joseph and Jesus, James, Joses, Simon, and Judas — mentioned as the brothers of Jesus in Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3.

Mary's family is not given the Biblical historical nod. Yet, they returned to live there and Nazareth records the city saw them as perfectly blended.

Luke 2:51
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.


Nazareth re-built watchtower Isaiah referred to.



Rejection is something we will all experience.

How did Jesus do with the rejection of his hometown?

Thirteen times he is referred to - not as Jesus bar Joseph - instead Jesus of Nazareth.



Jesus is recorded as vacationing. Visiting with His disciples, seeing His mother and family for a week. Having His brothers tell Him to claim His Kingship. Almost being pitched off a hillside at Nazareth.

And with the rejections - Jesus - Upgraded!

Matthew 4:13
And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, 
in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtal

Epiphanius in his Panarion (375 AD) numbers Nazareth among the cities without Christians. No relationship to Christ.

Eusebius tells us this is because Constantine, under Diocletian, killed all the Christian great nephews of Jesus who refused to renounce Him. Eusebius (Church History 1.7.14), speaks of “Nazara.” In the same passage, Africanus writes of desposunoi - relatives of Jesus - who he claims kept the records of their descent with great care.


If we aren't in tune with the Word of God to be true, we would see Epiphanius teach us Nazareth had rejected Jesus for all time. Discrediting Jesus.

Luke 18:37

They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”


Jesus healed Nazareth. Even when Nazareth was discredited in Jerusalem, in the Temple, among the Governing Body of the Temple, sneered as biblically of no account, Jesus never says, "I'm Jesus of Capernaum."








2 Corinthians 5:7
For we live by faith, not by sight.


Romans 8:24
For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. 
Who hopes for what they already have?



1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.



2 Corinthians 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.




Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance 
about what we do not see.


Because Jesus healed them. Nazareth was never lost to history.






 John 10:11  

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.








“Look, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and priceless cornerstone, 
and whoever believes in him will never be put to shame.”




Abba, Father

You are a God of Love and Glory.


We Glory in Your renewed Blessings each day.


We Glory to be asked for more of Your Good Will on earth as it is in Heaven.


We Glory to be given the Day to find Your Path.


We Glory on Your Promises of Your Kingdom, Your Power and Your Salvation for ourselves and those we Love.


We Glory the Wind will blow as it will and Your Holy Spirit leads us.


Your Glory covers all the people of Your Good Creation. You save the lost and You save the world in Jesus Christ.


To You be the Glory.

Luke 1:75-79 ~ Your Presence

 



Luke 1:75-79




In Holiness and Righteousness before Him all our days.

And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways,
to give knowledge of salvation to his people
in the forgiveness of their sins

Because of the tender mercy of our God,
whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet 
into the way of peace



When The Lord sent Jesus to live life upon His Good Creation, with His Beloved, The Lord
arranged Jesus to experience our lives. God has given us the Life He has known.


Psalm 139



O LORD, you have searched me and known me!



You know when I sit down and when I rise up; 
you discern my thoughts from afar.


You search out my path and my lying down 
and are acquainted 
with 
all my ways.










Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.









You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.
 Where shall I go from your Spirit? 
Or where shall I flee from your presence?








 If I ascend to heaven, you are there! 











If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!







If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,


even there your hand shall lead me, 


and your right hand shall hold me.










If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and 
the light about me is night,"


 Even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day,
 for darkness is as light with you.








For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, 
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 




Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.


My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret
intricately woven 
in the depths of the earth.







Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
 in your book were written, 
every one of them, the days that were formed for me, 
when as yet there was none of them.


God is Love



How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
 I awake,  and I am still with you.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
