Revd Graham Coldman discusses Luke's account of Jesus' teaching in the synagogue of his home town of Nazareth. Jesus challenges some of the traditional beliefs of the character of God. The listeners were initially amazed at what he said, his insight and knowledge of the scriptures. This soon turned to anger as he painted a different picture to the one they were familiar with, so much so that they wanted to kill him. But Jesus walked away unscathed, Jesus’ mission concluded as planned.
