Honor
Our Savior Was Without Honor
Based On: Mark 6:1-6
What is honor? Webster’s dictionary says it is your good name and public esteem. It is your reputation and the recognition you receive from others. Our Savior, more than any other, is worthy of honor. The angels in heaven sing, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” With their words the angels give him honor – they give him recognition and esteem. The Lamb who was slain rescued the whole world from death. The Lamb who was slain is worthy of honor, but when he came to his hometown he was without honor. He came to the world he created and the Lamb, our Savior, was without honor. He was without honor among us and yet, he was without honor for us.
