Then Jesus told them,
"A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family"
And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.
Matthew 13:57-58 NLT
Jesus own people missed it. They were stuck with the Jesus as a kid & couldn't see who he really was...
People grow up, mature... change. In fact that's one of the cornerstones of Christianity is that transformation is possible!
So when it happens, embrace it.
Enjoy it
Encourage it
Jesus left as a carpenter and came back a minister.
People move out of our lives for lots of reasons (study, travel, work, relationships etc) and we need to be prepared to see them differently...to hear their heart anew...otherwise we might be like Jesus family and miss some real blessing :)
And if you're the one coming back and not accepted for who you are today...know that you're in good company :)
