More about Jesus in his home town

When I was reading the Garland book something caught my eye that I've never thought of before. I have read and heard the story of Jesus going to his home town and them not being very accepting of Him. As many times as that's been I thought I pretty much knew about all I could about this passage, but as I read Garland I found new things that I've never thought about before. The first thing that I've never really thought about before was how big Jesus was. The Bible says he was a carpenter. Think of the work a carpenter does. A tekton is traditionally translated carpenter this is someone who works with wood, metal, or stone. If Jesus worked with the things all the time he would have been a good size fellow. In movies and pictures he's always this little dude. Sitting and thinking about that changes the way I imagine Jesus might have looked. Another thing I learned was that when the people were talking about him they said isn't this the son of Mary. I never thought about the fact that Mary's name was mentioned not Joseph. Garland gives some reasons why this is the one that he says is most likely is that by this time Joseph was dead. The thing that stuck out most and I guess has always bothered me was the fact that no one in his hometown believed. I'm sure they knew Jesus very well they had probly seen him do miracles before but yet they couldn't get past Jesus outward appearance and see Him as the son of God. Before I get to down on the people in the story. Let's fast forward to our time would we accept Jesus as God's son if he was just a plain old carpenter in our town? Would we be able to get past the outward appearance and look see him as the savior or would we just blow him off as nothing special and miss the chance of fellowshiping with God because we couldn't get past the outward appearance
