No doubt, Jesus was the odd kid. Little is said about His childhood, but even the fact that His family spent some time in Egypt as refugees before settling in Nazareth would have set Him apart. Suddenly, there He is, telling people to approach the world in these wild, even crazy, ways. We discover that they don't like that at all.
Sometimes we are dismissive of new ideas, especially new ideas from people whom we have dealt with as children. It's difficult enough to change our world views, let alone to have those annoying neighbor kids be the ones to show us that we need to. Sometimes, to open our minds to new ideas, we need to open our hearts to people as well.
