John 6:41-42 (NKJV) 41 The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, \u201cI am the bread which came down from heaven<\/span>.\u201d 42 And they said, \u201cIs not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, \u2018I have come down from heaven\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n

Jesus was disrespected by people who knew his earthly father. They thought that because they knew his earthly origins He couldn’t possibly be who He said He was.<\/p>\n

Do we ever experience this in our own lives? Do we feel like maybe we’re disrespected by people who know us just because they are familiar with us?<\/p>\n

Sometimes friends and family can be our toughest critics. And sometimes they’re downright impossible when it comes to ministering to them or getting them to believe what God has shown us or done in our lives.<\/p>\n

Familiarity is something that can be hard to overcome, especially in these types of situations. For some reason, just because people know us personally, they just won’t hear anything we say.<\/p>\n

But that’s OK. It didn’t stop Jesus from carrying out His earthly work. And it shouldn’t stop us either!<\/p>\n

The best thing we can do is put our efforts into those who will<\/i> listen, and just continue to love those who won’t<\/i> listen, even if it means loving them from a distance. And leave it to God to touch their hearts.<\/p>\n

Don’t let it get you down. And, in the words of Jesus;<\/p>\n

Matthew 10:14 (NKJV) 14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet<\/span>.<\/p>\n
