Matthew 13:53 - 13:58
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In Matthew 13:53-58, Jesus returned to his hometown where he was known as just an ordinary person, despite being a significant figure in his later ministry. Many people were surprised by the depth of his knowledge and wisdom. The speaker notes that while Jesus may have limitations based on his own thinking, he cannot go against his own principles and so cannot choose to act on faith alone. Nonetheless, the speaker encourages us to continue studying the life of Christ, regardless of our own limitations.
