Make No Mistake

 Jesus and His disciples left Capernaum and went  to His own country the city of Nazareth. Where Jesus was raised and was educated as a young boy. The first place we read He and His disciples go is the synagogue and He began to teach. Mark 6:1 (KJV) And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.

Mark 6:2 (KJV) And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 

Jesus is in His hometown maybe He is teaching in the synagogue where Joseph and Mary his mother attended. He may have gone there Himself with them as He was growing up, we don’t know. But what we do know is that these people knew Him and His earthly family. Mark 6:3 (KJV) Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. I don’t know if you notice how Jesus was identified. First as a carpenter; not the Savior of the world. That’s the way many see Jesus a good man even a prophet but not The Savior of mankind. But there’s more “Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary,” That’s strange! If I would have said that I would have said it like this “is that not Jesus the son of Joseph and Mary.” You know why? Because He’s not the son of Joseph and Mary He’s the Son of God not Joseph  Matthew 3:17 (KJV) And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Mark 1:1 (KJV) The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

In our Bible God wants no mistake or confusion about who Jesus is; HE IS GOD’S SON!

2 Timothy 1:10 (KJV) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: Make no mistake who Jesus is.
