Jesus is rejected in Nazareth ~
So, Jesus goes to His hometown, comes to church, & reads from Scripture. This Scripture just so happens to be about Him. (I believe we are on the seventh prophecy provided in the Gospels. It comes from Isaiah.) Jesus tells the people, Here I AM, your Messiah has come, yet I will not be able to perform miracles in your presence for you doubt me.
Now look close, instead of being humbled, instead of looking closer at Jesus' heart, the people become enraged! How dare He tell them what they will & will not do! How dare He look into their hearts & call out their innermost thoughts! The crowd forms this riot mentallity & determines to throw Jesus off a cliff. They're going to show Him!
Wow, the truth can enrage us when we are unwilling to face it. Yet, the truth only serves to point us to a better place. Your choice today is to look for truth, accept it for the healing powers it provides to us, & apply it to our lives. To run from truth only leads to heartache and anger & who wants to live there?
