They tripped over what little they knew about him and fell, sprawling. And they never got any further.
It is very important to have an unbiased viewpoint toward the world with humbleness and mercy. Wrong values governed by little experiences and closed mind, prevent us from recognizing the truth as it is.
The people of Jesus' hometown did not admit Jesus as a messiah due to prejudice. To them, Jesus was just a carpenter and the son of Mary. They have known Jesus since he was a kid. They stumbled upon the arrogance they knew well. Jesus Christ was right next to them, but they never knew it.
"Jesus is the reality of God being with us"
We too often stumble over what we think we know well. Prejudice, hasty judgment, distorted point, and inner greed, lead our judgments to the wrong way. Jesus is the reality of God being with us (Immanuel). The creatures of earth and heaven have proven that, and the Holy Spirit in my mind has proven that. Human history has proven that, and countless people of faith have proven that.
Eternal life on earth is a practice to look at the world with God's perspective.
