No prophet is accepted in his own native place

Luke 4:24-30

Misunderstood!?

Jesus said to the people in the synagogue at Nazareth:  "Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place.  Indeed, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah when the sky was closed for three and a half years and a severe famine spread over the entire land.  It was to none of these that Elijah was sent, but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon.  Again, there were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian."  When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury.  They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong.  But he passed through the midst of them and went away.

No prophet is accepted in his own native place

Lord,

I am not saying I am a prophet but I completely understand that.

B doesn’t understand all this.  He won’t listen to me or try to understand.  He just goes about his day looking outside and comment on the changes he sees out there.

I cannot share with J because she no longer believes in you.  The rest of my family would definitely think I’ went off the deep end and maybe they would be right.
