Have you ever felt rejected by those who know you best? In John 4, Jesus returned to Galilee, where He grew up. Initially, the Galileans welcomed Him, excited by the miracles He had performed. However, as Jesus preached repentance and revealed Himself as the Messiah, their welcome quickly turned into rejection. Jesus read from Isaiah in the synagogue, declaring, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." The crowd is stunned and outraged. How could this carpenter’s son claim to be the Messiah? They drove Jesus out, attempting to throw Him off a cliff. Jesus didn’t lose heart despite the rejection from those closest to Him. He continued His ministry with unwavering focus. If you’re facing rejection, don’t lose heart, or sight of your calling.
