Jesus Goes Home

 

- Extraordinary people begin life in ordinary ways – even Jesus (Mark 6:1-3)

 

- A prophet can’t be a favorite son and still be a prophet (Mark 6:4-5)

 

- When He first arrived, they were “amazed” with his teaching (Mark 6:2)

 

- When He left, He was “amazed” at their lack of faith (Mark 6:6)

 

 

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

           

            - Jesus did not back down from His own authority. In fact, he passed it on to the 12 (Mark 6:7)

 

            - He gave clear instruction to depend on God to provide THROUGH PEOPLE (Mark 6:8-9)

 

            - Stay with those who welcome you (Mark 6:10)

 

- Let go of those who don’t (Mark 6:11)

 

- They did what Jesus did (Mark 6:12-13)

 

 

The truth of God and the authority of Christ will not always be welcomed, even at home.

 

The attitude we hold and the way we present ourselves always matters.

 

1 Peter 3:13-16
