The people of Nazareth who knew Jesus the longest believed Him the least. When He returned and taught in the synagogue, His childhood neighbours couldn’t see past the carpenter’s son standing in front of them.

From Mark 6:1–6, Pastor Chuck Swindoll grieves the tragedy of hometown rejection and its three responses: the cynical, the curious, and the committed. Even Jesus marveled at the hardness of their unbelief.

Guard your heart against the spirit of cynicism. Stay open, teachable, and responsive to God’s Word, no matter how familiar the message may seem!

Mark 6:1–6
