Ordinary People

When Jesus began  to teach in the synagogue in his native place, he was in the eyes of the people, not a leaned scholar, not a Scribe nor a Pharisee, but simply "the carpenter's son." (Mk 6: 1-6).  He was not accepted even though his miraculous cures should have given him all the credentials he would have needed.
His "ordinariness" is a cue to each one of us to witness, to teach by example, or even word,  about  God's loving presence among us.  Jesus was, on one level, an "ordinary person"; we too are ordinary people, but God uses the "ordinary", the weak and the "fool" to confound the strong and the wise. (cf. 1 Cor 1:27). May we have confidence in what he can do in and through each one of us,, and not hold back.  Boldness and audacity should mark our living of the Gospel, not fear nor timidity.'
