When Jesus is met by the rejection of his own family and friends, He responds, “A prophet is never without honor except in his own native place.” Even when it is entirely divine, the ordinary is still suspicious to us and difficult to trust.

When Naaman was told by Elisha simply to bath 7 times in the Jordan in order to be healed of his leprosy, he protested, demanding something “extraordinary.” But he does humble himself before the simplicity of the method, and is cured. + ‍ ‍
