Missional Jesus used public places to teach about the kingdom of God. This included public spaces in his home village.<br \/>\n2. Missional Jesus, evidently previously perceived as an ordinary Jewish young man, surprised the locals with his wisdom and miracles. Not only surprised but offended at his <em>chutzpah<\/em>.<br \/>\n3. Missional Jesus observes, wryly so it seems, that prophets get honor everywhere except at home.<br \/>\n4.
