Jesus gets Dissed

Mark 6.1-13

Why do they take offense?

• Content (v.2) – what He teaches is more than philosophy or pleasantries.
• Prejudice (v.2) – no one from His kind makes a prophet or teacher.
• Familiarity (v.3) – thinking you know Him and knowing Him are not the same. 

What is the Response?

• Dishonor (v.4) – even among His own.
• Distance (v.5) – few came to Him, most stayed away.
• Disbelief (v.6) – not the same as doubt.

The message is scandalous and only received by faith (Heb. 11.6).

What does He do?

• He sends missionaries to the culture (v.6-7).
• He sends them with authority (v.7).
• He calls for their commitment on God (8-9).
• He calls for their commitment to the recipients (v.10-11).
• He relays the message through them:  repent (v.12).
