Jesus left there and went to his hometown, and his followers went with him. On the Sabbath day he taught in the synagogue. Many people heard him and were amazed, saying, “Where did this man get these teachings? What is this wisdom that has been given to him? And where did he get the power to do miracles? He is just the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. And his sisters are here with us.” So the people were upset with Jesus. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his hometown and with his own people and in his own home.” So Jesus was not able to work any miracles there except to heal a few sick people by putting his hands on them. He was amazed at how many people had no faith. Then Jesus went to other villages in that area and taught. He called his twelve followers together and got ready to send them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits.

While running, I was reflecting on this season of Easter and the Holy Spirit impressed upon me the following in this 5-day plan leading up to Easter.
Manhattan pastor Jon Tyson says, “All great revivals have taken place in times of decline. Resurrection is found among the dead. I want to call you to resist compromise when your friends tell you your faith is too intense, your devotion unnecessary, your life together too much.” In this devotional Tyson contrasts five things that make for brokenness with five things that make for beauty.
Jesus is over our city! How do you take the fame of Jesus from city to city? What is the expectation of Jesus? How will Jesus come beside you as you proclaim His love from city to city?
In Mark 5–7, we see Jesus and the disciples “zig-zagging” back and forth across Lake Galilee. The disciples must have felt disoriented with all the movement, but Jesus was clearly in charge of their itinerary. He seems to be on a purposeful mission, and none of his encounters with people are accidental or unanticipated. This five-day series will explore some encounters, particularly Jesus’ missional words and actions.
