WWJL? (What Was Jesus Like?)



"Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. 'Where did this man get these things?' they asked. 'What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?' And they took offense at him." (Mark 6:1-3 NIV)

Comments:
Isn't it funny that the men were "amazed" by the wisdom of Jesus and his miracles but they were offened by him because they new him and because he was a carpenter?

I can picture them saying...

"You are smart, amazing, and perform incredible miracles Jesus but we are offeneded because we know you, your sisters and brothers and you are a lowly carpenter. Bring on the real messiah!"
