He left there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished. “Where did this man get these things? ” they said. “What is this wisdom that has been given to him, and how are these miracles performed by his hands? Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And aren’t his sisters here with us? ” So they were offended by him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his household.” He was not able to do a miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And he was amazed at their unbelief. He was going around the villages teaching.

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.
