Mark 6:1-6 – 1Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. "Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! 3Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him. 4Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." 5He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6And he was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.
Observation:
• Where did Jesus travel to?
• On what day was he teaching?
• Why were the people amazed?
• Why were people offended at Jesus’ teaching?
• What was Jesus amazed about?
Application:
• What did people say about Jesus?
• Where do you think Jesus’ wisdom came from?
• What kind of response did Jesus receive in Nazareth? Why?
• Why do you think familiarity with Jesus prohibited the people of his hometown from seeing Jesus for who he really was?
• Why do you think the peoples’ lack of faith seemed to have an effect on what Jesus could do there?
• Do you think that your faith or lack of faith in Christ affects his ability to work in your own life?
