When Jesus came to his home town he could not do many miracles because so many people were so offended by him. It is a common experience for people to be rejected at their home town. When Kristina Agulera visited her high school prom the kids shunned her. When I was in Laguna Beach I asked a young local vendor about the kids on tv from her city. I asked her how the kids in her school felt about the tv stars and she said, "Everybody hates them." To be honest, I expected that answer. Generally, people do not like seeing equals getting further ahead in life than themselves. Its a matter of fairness.
