The Good of Your Nazareth

Sunday, January 24, 2021

In Biblical times, Nazareth was pretty much... a dump. When people heard that Yeshua, Jesus, came from Nazareth, they asked, "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" The answer is no. Messiah didn't come from Nazareth. He came from Heaven. Messiah came through Nazareth. That's important because this difference can change your life. When you look at your life, your past, and your circumstance, you might ask yourself, "What good can come from it?" The answer is no good can come from it, but good can come through it. Maybe no good can come from your past or that situation, but good can come through it. Yeshua, Jesus, is not the one who comes from Nazareth, but through it. Whatever that less than perfect life you've been living in... that's your Nazareth. True, good can't come from it... but good can come through it - and out of it. The good is Messiah. Open up your life, heart, problem, situation to the presence of Messiah. Let Him come through it. From that thing from which nothing good can come, much good will come - in it, out of it - for Messiah came through Nazareth.
