A Prophet in His Hometown | Rev David Pileggi (7.7.2024)

The rejection of Jesus at Nazareth is not inherently a Jewish rejection of the Messiah's teachings–his followers would go on to other Jewish towns that received that same message. The call of discipleship is holistic and thus it demands a humble approach to the one in whose pattern a disciple would be molded. Where that humility (otherwise seen in action as faith) was absent in Nazareth, it abounded elsewhere in the Galilee. Readings: Psalm 48; Mark 6:1-13
