Gospel
Matthew 13:54-58
A prophet is only despised in his own country
Coming to his home town, Jesus taught the people in their synagogue in such a way that they were astonished and said, ‘Where did the man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers? This is the carpenter’s son, surely? Is not his mother the woman called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Jude? His sisters, too, are they not all here with us? So where did the man get it all?’ And they would not accept him. But Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet is only despised in his own country and in his own house’, and he did not work many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
Reflection
One of the greatest gift given to mankind is the ability to gossip or make disparaging remarks.Christ In his hometown despite sharing good news he was despised because he is the son of a carpenter. As a result not many miracles was performed there.The message today is do not be judgemental or gossip . Neither should we look down at someone background for we are all God's creation.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus we are all your creation. Let us always honour and love one another as you have love us
