It's like when you have moved away from home for so many years and your old friends use to see you a certain way, that was so worldly. During the years of your growth in Gods word which has prepared you to go back home and to minister to those who are lost, your brothers and sisters also in your father's house. Well people see you as you were years ago they refuse to see the good God has in you. They have seen so much pain and misery, heart ache and for you to come back to tell the the good news and to let them know that God Lives, well that's a rejection and you are hurt because you want so much for them to be lifted up in proper. But the only thing they don't understand is why don't you party with them any more hang out and play craps. When God's name come up they cut you off, because they think you are not suppose to change, they reject you even more they don't want to hear about how God loves us so.

"...Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country." (Luke 4:24)
According to Matthew, he was without honor in Galilee; according to John, he went to Galilee because he was without honor in Judea. According to Matthew the Galileans rejected him; according to John "the Galileans received him." According to Matthew, Galilee was "his own country"; according to John, Judea was "his own country." Matthew: "And when he came into his own country [Galilee], he taught them in their synagogue,...and they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country" (13, 54-57). John: "He departed thence, the had come from Judea and Samaria] and went into Galilee. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country. Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him" (4, 43-45).
Was Jesus calling himself a prophet or was He illustrating a point? While it was no secret that Jesus had prophesied over His own disciples (see John 1:44-50), the issue was the hearts of the people of His hometown. In the Jewish culture of the day, a proven Prophet was highly revered and honored. But Jesus is teaching a lesson about humanity and its limitations, even for a Prophet.

It is easier to gain recognition and acclaimed success outside of your own country.

However, it is important to note that Jesus is not merely considered a prophet, but also the Son of God and the Messiah.
