Jesus has returned back home and the people are amazed at His wisdom. Isn't this the little boy they knew? Aren't they familiar with His family? Where did He get all this wisdom and understanding. Rather than listen, they become sceptical & reject His teaching.
Don't we do that? Don't we think we know someone or Someone & we doubt their ability? Here's the problem - these people were judging on surface issues. They thought they knew Jesus - but really they just knew about Jesus. Look, I know my neighbors, I know my co-workers, but I don't KNOW them. I don't know what their family dynamic is like, their worldview, or their innermost thoughts.
So, are you judging Jesus on what you think you know or on what you know? Do you know Him, really know Him? If not, get started! This Christian life isn't about surface faith, it's about true relationship.
