FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT

My father was a 'sage,' and he always quoted something from the Proverbs of Solomon to support his wisdom. Our family established two repetitive habits we faithfully did all my young life.

Throughout the day, my mother or father would read the Proverbs for that day. There are 31 chapters in Proverbs, and most months have 31 days. Our apostle, dad's pastor, as a young man, taught us that spiritual activity.

The second thing we did religiously was never take a trip in the car without quoting the 91st Psalm: "He that dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."

"Remove your foot from your neighbor's house lest he become weary of you."

I can't tell you how many times I've heard those proverbs quoted to me. They have saved me a lot of heartache over the years.

It seems that Jesus had the same problem in Matthew 13. After having a very successful teaching time by the seashore, in the first part of Matthew 13, he decided to go home.

As it turns out, the Home folks rejected him because he was just too familiar to them. Interestingly enough, they were stunned, dazed, amazed, taken back, and blown away by his wisdom and revelation.

In any normal circumstance, you would think that would have locked them into believing God and his messenger, Jesus.

No, it didn't. And the reason why? Most people make a common mistake when it comes to spiritual things versus natural things.

They were looking at the natural source for his wisdom and revelation instead of the spiritual source.

They said, " We know this guy. He's from our hometown. He doesn't even have a degree in theology, nor has he been to the seminary. "

I'll bet you I've heard that before in some of your church or private experiences. Church people are as guilty as anyone else by judging a man or woman of God by their age, their height, their degree of education, or where they're from—shame on us.

It's tuneup time, folks. It's time to tune into the spiritual world and listen to what God says about his kingdom and our future development.
