Matthew 13:54-57 NKJV
When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
[55] Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
[56] And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?”
[57] So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.”
Those that new JESUS from a youth and HIS family were offended because of hey thought they new HIM! He is just a carpenters son how can he teach us!!
We may been idiots in the past and those that knew us then can only see what we did in the past! What they don’t see is the work of GOD in our lives!
2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Don’t dwell in your past but look towards your future with HIM! We are a new creation in HIM!!
Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJV
“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. [19] Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.
