Hometown Blues

"1Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.

"Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! 3Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph,^[a] Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

4Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." 5He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6And he was amazed at their lack of faith."

That verse means 2 powerfull things to me right now, and it may mean something different to you, but ill share w you one of those things to you..

What is it about going back to your hometown that sets you back? Why cant you see or do clearly? Why do people still hold things against me? Why cant we have a normal conversation and put things behind us and be who we are?
Where does doubt come from? Why is there a lack of faith, why is it harder to be as effective as you once were in a place that is most home to you? Why is it harder to apply the things you learned on your journey when you have returned home?
