Meet the Apostles: those who chose not to follow by ric Gustafson
Most Pharisees, Sadducees and teachers of the law rejected following Jesus. Jesus did not comply with their man made rules. People in Samaria rejected Jesus because he was Jewish. This made him a natural enemy of the Samaritans. In villages that knew Jesus, some rejected him because they knew him. When Jesus was rejected, the Apostles were rejected too. People had seen him grow up the son of a carpenter. People could not accept him as a great spiritual leader or Messiah. According to Luke 4: 16-20, people were so upset with Jesus, they tried to throw him off a cliff.
When the world knows that we are a follower of Jesus, the world will take notice.
