John 4:43,44

Today's verse is from John 4, 43, and 44. 

After two days, he departed from Galilee. For, Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own Hometown.

Jesus was in Samaria for two days and preached the gospel. There would have been great joy in the town.

After Jesus, it was Philip, who went to Samaria. In Acts 8:5-8 we see [5] Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. [6] And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs that he did. [7] For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. [8] So there was much joy in that city.

There is Joy in a city where the gospel is preached. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Philip, preached the gospel signs and wonders happed, the Samaritans believed, and they were baptized in water, and later they received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Hallelujah! Jesus testified that a prophet has no honor in his own Hometown. Jesus was going from the southern state of Israel Judea to the northern state of Galilee. Jesus was from the tribe of Judah. He was born in the town of David, that is Bethlehem, so Jesus was referring to Jerusalem or Judea as his hometown, where he was rejected.

John 1, 11, says he came to his own and his own people did not receive him, but to all who did receive him who believed in his name He gave the right to become children of God.  Today are you being rejected in your hometown? The people rejecting you because you are following Christ

God will exalt you in the place where you are rejected.
