Don't turn away... Keep listening and learning

Matthew 13:57-58 And they took offense at him.But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.” And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. 
Jesus' own hometown failed to grasp Who He really was. Rather than continue to investigate, they blew Him off as "not worth the time", and in fact, even worse, someone to kick out of the way.  They viewed Him as a scandal to be ashamed of rather than a Savior to cling to.  Jesus knew familiarity breeds contempt.  They thought they knew Him; they really did not.  May we never come to the place that we think we fully know Jesus, that we have nothing more to learn of Him.  We have so much more to learn; He is so much more.
