The other night my wife and I sat down and watched "Hancock." I was definitely down with that movie. If you haven't seen it, you should definitely check it out. He is the guy from another world- He tries to help people in need, but even as he helps people, he isn't really accepted, people just want more, or they don't even recognize him.

Sounds a lot like Jesus in the reading today. He's in his home town, the religious leaders question Him asking, "What authority do you have? Aren't you that carpenter's son?" So, He moves on, but in the process does some amazing things: walks on water, feeds 5,000 with just five loaves of bread and two fish, sends out the 12 to spread the message of love.

Jesus continually pushes forward doing what God called Him to do no matter what the reaction or who questioned Him.

His disciples get worried in a storm- Jesus calms it.
People come with needs- Jesus feeds them.
People need healing and miracles- Jesus does the miraculous.
Leaders question Him- Jesus responds in love and continues with ministry as He has been called.

So, if people push back, take advantage of you, or don't even recognize your deeds of love... just keep doing what God has called you to do. Even if you are an Unwanted Super Hero.
