"Familiarity breeds contempt." We have all heard this saying and there is truth in it. Jesus himself said that a prophet has no honor in his own country. People have this tendency to hold a higher estimation of strangers than of those they know the best, even though the stranger may be a much less noble person. This is a problem when it comes to the preaching of the Word of God. After a while the people get to know the preacher a little better and then he is diminished in their eyes to a mere human, like them, and they expected signs and wonders. Beware, they said the same thing about Jesus. They could not hear from God through him because they knew him, and his brothers and sisters. Don't miss God because of your estimation of the person preaching his Word.
