with out honor in your home town???

Could it be that a person could be without honor in their own home town, amongst their own people? Do you ever feel like you have to go else where to be appreciated, to be recognised? Have you ever thought that you have gifts and talents that people close to you are just not recognising? Jesus knew too what it was like not to be appreciated.

Mark 6:1-6 (http://www.biblegateway.com)

New International Version (NIV)

A Prophet Without Honor

6 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. ² When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.

“Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? ³ Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph,^[a] Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.
⁴ Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” ⁵ He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. ⁶ He was amazed at their lack of faith.
