Human beings - like all of us - don’t like change and do everything to resist it. This is especially so hen we have grown comfortable with a familiar view of other people or the circumstances we have experienced and have some control of. Jesus is dealing with just this circumstance in today’s Gospel. Those familiar with him cannot fit a new experience of him into the categories they’ve used to interpret, understand and control him in the past. This is a very familiar challenge for believers.
