No Prophet is Accepted in His Own Place

Jesus knew what was in the hearts of the people who listened to Him speak in the Synagogue
He emphasized that His healing grace and saving power were for any and all who believed, as both Elijah and Elisha demonstrated with their miracles.
He could feel their sense of entitlement that they, as His chosen people, should be tended to
He could also sense their bitterness, jealousy, anger and unbelief in His divinity.
The comparison of self to Elijah and Elisha was the final straw for Jesus’ audience that day, resulting in rage so great that they wished to kill Him.
What gets in the way of your belief in the ultimate power and transcendence of Jesus?
What prevents you from hearing and fully accepting His words and His grace?
