HOMETOWN REJECTION

 

During Jesus’ three and a half years of ministry, He only returned home to Nazareth twice. One of those visits is recorded in the first three gospels called the “synoptic gospels” (a synopsis of a story from the three accounts of the gospel). This visit is found in Matthew 13:54-58, Mark 6:1-6, and Luke 4:16-30.

 

Let me give you a “synopsis” of these three passages in my own descriptive words. (You should read all three yourself to put together a full picture.)

 

Jesus went home to Nazareth with his disciples accompanying him (Mark 6:1). His fame for working miracles had already preceded him (Matt 13:54). He went to the Nazareth synagogue on the Sabbath. They gave him, as an honored recognizable guest teacher, the scroll of Isaiah for a reading. Jesus read from Isaiah 61:1-2, a messianic passage telling of the works to be done by the one whom it is said, “the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings (the gospel) …” and heal the brokenhearted, deliverance, and healing.

 

Then he said (Luke 4:21), “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears” and eyes. They understood who he was claiming to be, The Anointed One (messiah). Immediately they disbelieved his claim and began resistance.

 

“Who does he think he is? We knew his father, the carpenter Joseph before he deceased. We know his mother Mary who is still here. We also know his four brothers, sons of Joseph and Mary, namely James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas. We also know his sisters all of whom live here among us in Nazareth.”

 

They took great offense at his claim. They said, “if this is true, then why don’t you do the mighty works here in Nazareth that we have heard about from Capernaum?” Jesus then replied that no prophet is honored or accepted or even taken seriously in his hometown, or even by his own family and relatives.

 

The leaders of the synagogue rose up against him. They thrust him forcibly out of the city. They took him captive upon a high hill to cast him off a steep cliff headlong to his death. God miraculously delivered Jesus by making him pass through the middle of them to safety.

 

He and his disciples then proceeded again to Capernaum where he and his ministry were accepted. He could do very little in Nazareth because of their unbelief. They were “too familiar” of him.

 

Have you ever had family or relatives that did not take your walk and your work seriously as a Christian? What about childhood friends and classmates, or adult friends that only remember you as an unholy young adult? It is easier for someone who only came to know you later in life after your salvation to accept what God is doing through you. They do not “remember” your pre-Christian life and don’t hold that against you. That is a function of human nature. Do not let it negatively affect you. Forgive them and get on with the Lord’s business. That is what Jesus did.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

 

You may not realize it, but Satan has many spirits watching you. He doesn’t want you to have victory. He sets traps and hopes you will fall into them. He hopes you fail at all you try. He works through people to bring you discouragement and stop your progress as a Christian. But we have something that defeats him every time, and that is the Word of God. Once he sees that you won’t give into his lies you win. When he sees that you have learned who you are in Christ, he cringes when you wake up and start your day. He’ll say, “Oh gosh, she/he is up again!

 

Jesus quoted the word to Satan with these words, “It is written” and it caused Satan to depart from him. You must do the same. You study the Word of God to learn who you are and use it as ammunition against him when he attacks you. 

 

He will try to tell you that you are nothing but a “low down sinner”, but if you are born again, you are “the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.” 

 

He may tell you that you are broke and will never pay your bills, but Jesus has declared in Philippians that He would supply ALL your needs through his riches in glory. 

 

Who you think you are in Christ will determine whether you win the battle or lose. If you see yourself defeated, you will walk in defeat. Jesus wants you to be successful in every area of your life. He promises to provide every need we have, but we receive everything by faith.

 

Do you think of yourself as a strong warrior for God? If not, you will be defeated.

 

Do you think of yourself as being an overcomer? If not, you will be “under” the circumstances every time.

 

We must determine to see ourselves the way God does to win in life my friends. He is Jehovah Jireh, which means God, our provider. He has provision for every need. The more of the Word of God you have inside of you, the more of it will come out as you speak.   Yes, there will still be battles, but you win because you have learned who you are! You are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus!

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

 

So often in our Christian walk we stay so busy that we don't take time to rest. Even soldiers have to have time of rest to be effective. Busy, tired, bodies become weak and sick if we don't pull aside and take some R&R. Never feel guilty about taking time to be refreshed and re-fired to get back into the battle. Jesus came aside and rested, and we need to also!

God still speaks through his prophets.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION


Over the course of our lives I’m quite sure that at some point in time most will get to feeling a little like Ezekiel of old in Ezekiel 37. It was there where we read of Ezekiel experiencing his own valley of dead dry bones. Today, perhaps you too are in a lonely, dark and dismal valley full of dead dry bones. It’s there in that hopeless looking valley that you’re seeing many of your own dead hopes and dreams, dead relationships, dead goals and yes, even dead and closed doors. Oh, but you just hold on and keep trusting God as you get yourself ready for a miracle; For your loving Lord Jesus is even now at work in your life and He is turning that ole dark valley of dead and dry bones into a lush green valley of divine favor, answered prayers and you guessed it...Some unexpected bonafide miracles...And yes, they have your name on them and God’s GPS knows exactly where you are 24-7. So go ahead and begin to praise God for all that you’re about to receive right there in the very midst of that hard dark valley you’ve been walking in.
