Evening: Psalms 111,112,113; Mark 6:1-6a
In some ways, you’re always a child in your own hometown and among your own kin. It’s hard for people to recognize that you have changed and matured and grown in wisdom (if you have!?) since they knew you as the kid down the street; they remember you as you were back then. Even Jesus had difficulty getting people to listen to his teaching in Nazareth. But on another level, it is reassuring to know that Jesus was just one of the neighbourhood kids; he truly knows all of our human experience, right down to the harshness of being rejected.
