Matthew 13:54-58
54 Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. 55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And they took offense at him.
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”
58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
Colossians 3:3
3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
How the hiddenness of the incarnation gets lived out:
- Our TRUE SELF is hidden in Jesus.
- Christ is hidden inside my losses, my failures, and my closed doors.
