Luke 4:14-30
So much for the home town crowd. Jesus returns to Nazareth in Luke 4:14-30 and he doesn't quite get the reception that you'd think. It starts out good, but then Jesus informs the crowd that he won't be performing any miracles or healing the sick. Well that goes over like a lead balloon and things get ugly--fast. You see the people weren't interested in knowing Jesus. They just wanted what Jesus could do and give them. Jesus didn't comply. He knew that what the crowd thought was best for them wasn't what they needed at all.
So how do we make sure we're not just running after what WE think we need? What can we do to get, and then stay, in alignment with what God has for us? Tami W.
P.S. Make sure and read the rest of Luke 4 tomorrow. Jesus' response to this group of people is quite different from today.
