Jesus Came to His Own and His Own Did Not Receive Him | Mark 6:1-6

Note: This week’s audio was cut short. The YouTube video includes the complete audio.

From the early days of Jesus’ ministry, He was disdained by the Jewish authorities (Mk 2:7, 16, 24, 3:2, etc.), and He was even discounted by His very own family members who tried to persuade Him to end His ministry (3:31–25). While He grew in popularity in the regions He visited, there always remained a sad reality that those who should have been closest to Him did not receive His teaching in faith. Mark 6:1–6 recounts how Jesus dealt in the face of opposition from the very region who should have embraced Him as their own. How will you receive Jesus?
