A prophet is not without honour.
Except in his home town.
We wonder how we can open our own home’s door.
Will we be met with a knowing frown.

If Jesus had difficulty
Why should we worry.
If people view us cynically.
There is no hurry.

And the same was with his relatives.
And amongst his own household.
Facing all these negatives.
Everything on hold.

He could do no mighty work there.
Except of course heal some sick there.

……

Honour for prophets
Seldom arises at home
It’s the same for us
