—Mark 6:1-6
by: Paula Davis.
The people in Jesus’ hometown had already put Jesus in a box, labeling Him from what they knew of Him when He was young. They could not set aside those predeterminations to learn from Him or be healed by Him. How easy it is to be critical of them after having all of Scripture as our reference! But honestly, how many times have we doubted Jesus’ ability to work in our own lives, or accept what He’s trying to teach us? May we take Jesus out of whatever boxes we have put Him in. Let us trust the wisdom of Jesus and never doubt His power to work in us and in others.
