Exploring the Gospels - a prophet has no honour in his own country - Marcus Da Costa

Because the journey one takes, following the master, the Rabbi Yeshua, is one of transformation, those who you walked with and knew in times past, who are yet to receive and positively respond to the call unto spiritual adoption, are ill-equipped to recognise nor honour you as a child of God and understand it’s significance. This is a journey that is spiritual. Those who undertake it must continually strip back the fleshly man. All the while, the fleshly old man’s peers, acquaintances, family and friends, who are yet to make the journey of transformation remain bound by the carnal, the flesh, hindering their ability to see and therefore honour the renewed you.
