Even though John reveals to us that the people were looking for Messiah, for Elijah, and for the Prophet; Yeshua testified that a prophet had no honor in his own country. Mark Twain aptly said, “Familiarity breeds contempt.” This means when you have a lot of knowledge about a person, you tend to lose respect for that person especially when they move beyond your assigned role for them. This could manifest when others expected something of you that you didn't want to live up to; they made rules that you didn't honor; or they laid down the law and you broke it.
This also manifests with the people around you, even with the people that love you. They may try to discredit you or reduce you to their level if you allow them. They become offended because you are very familiar to them and they think, “Who do you think you are?”
It is clear that our faith cannot force a change in the lives of others who are not ready to receive or accept this faith.
In spite of the backlash, we have to understand that the power of the Almighty is readily available to us and like Yeshua, we must be looking for faith among us to demonstrate this power.
