Jesus was rejected by His home town

When Jesus had finished telling these stories and illustrations, he left that part of the country. He returned to Nazareth, his hometown. When he taught there in the synagogue, everyone was amazed and said, “Where does he get this wisdom and the power to do miracles?” Then they scoffed, “He’s just the carpenter’s son, and we know Mary, his mother, and his brothers—James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas.
All his sisters live right here among us. Where did he learn all these things?” And they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. - Matthew 13:53-57

“Do to others as you would like them to do to you.” Luke 6:31.

In tough times we see who our real friends are.

Proverbs 18:24 says, “Someone with many companions may find themselves alone in difficult times. But then there is that true friend who is actually closer than a family member.”


“Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.” Galatians 6:7
