Matthew 13:54 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 13:54

52 Then He said to them, “Therefore every¹ scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure ^athings new and old.”

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

53 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.

54 ^aWhen He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

55 ^aIs this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And ^bHis brothers ^cJames, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?”

57 So they ^awere offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, ^b“A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.”

Matthew 13:53-57

Let us go to Matthew 13. This follows right on the heels of very fine teaching in which He used parables.

He did not turn people on in a positive way, brethren. Overwhelming evidence from Scripture is that mankind did not see Him. They were perplexed or disturbed; there were divisions created; some were outright offended.

We are beginning to see an application to you and me. Will He be working in our lives if we do not see Him? If we do not recognize Him? If we do not understand His purpose, what He is working out in you and me? I do not think so! Brethren, we have come out of a world in which there is just as much, if not more, confusion today regarding Him, regarding His identity, as there was when He was walking on the earth. My concern is not whether we can identify Him, because I think that we have identified Him as the Christ. We see the real Jesus. My concern is to whether we see Him as a vital part of our lives.
