We are gifted to build bonds among ourselves and others in order to live the Gospel in word, worship, community and service for the salvation of all and the building of God s kingdom. Jesus, after a successful road trip, was in Nazareth, preaching in his home synagogue before those who knew him best. We may be tempted to look down on Jesus critics, but we can t be too hard on the folks of Nazareth. We may be more like them than not. You might think this would be his most sympathetic audience, but the crowd dismissed him. It is a fact that what is close at hand is often missed. About the only way we wake up to value the ordinary blessings of our lives is to have them taken away, or to view them from a distance, or to have a visitor help us to see them again, as if for the first time. Failing to see the extraordinary in the ordinary of our lives does have consequences. A troubling phrase of today s gospel stands out because of their lack of faith; Jesus was not able to perform any mighty deed there. Jesus was unable because his infinite power was bound by the father s gift of free will to the townsfolk and us. Jesus cannot mediate his father s power without a faith response; there was little response in Nazareth. He could do only little. They do not even mention what he spoke in their synagogue; they dismiss his right to teach anything about God. The people were full of themselves. There was no room in their minds for a new insight -- or any new revelation. And... familiarity breeds contempt as the saying goes. Also, please notice their lack of belief amazed Jesus. Seldom is Jesus astonished, but when he is, it is about people s faith. It is either extraordinary faith or it is the extraordinary lack of it.
