Jesus Faces Rejection at Home
Matthew 13:53-58
Points of the story:
- His parables were retaught. (53-54)
- His people reacted. (54-56)
- His explanation was required. (57)
- His work was repressed. (58)
What does this story teach us?
- If Jesus' hometown rejected Him, we can surely expect the same.
- If Jesus did not force kingdom citizenship on those who knew Him well, we shouldn't either.
Question #1 - How do you personally handle gospel rejection?
You should remind yourselves that:
- They are rejecting God and not you.
- You can't save anyone.
Question #2 - What do we do after our message has been rejected?
Good Advice:
- Mourn
- Pray
- Rejoice
