Recognize Prophets Around You

Pentax Optio S50

"Leaving that place, Jesus returned to his own country, and his disciples followed him. When the sabbath came, he began teaching in the synagogue, and most of those who heard him were astonished. They commented, 'How did this come to him? What kind of wisdom has been given to him that he also performs such miracles? Who is he but the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joset and Judas and Simon? His sisters, too, are they not here among us?' So they took offense at him.

"And Jesus said to them, 'Prophets are despised only in their own country, among their relatives and in their own family.' And he could work no miracles there, but only healed a few sick people by laying his hands on them. Jesus himself was astounded at their unbelief.

"Jesus then went around the villages teaching."

MARK 6:1-6

"Lord,open my ears to hear Your voice
even from the ordinary people around me.
Help me especially to recognize You in my family members."
