Jesus has returned home to Nazareth to preach in the synagogue. When he began to preach, Luke’s Gospel tells us, “All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth.” By the end of the sermon, an angry mob, presumably many who knew Jesus, chase him out of town and look to toss him off a cliff. Something does not add up, says Pastor Ryan. What does this passage reveal about the Jesus of Luke’s Gospel and the radical intent of the Good News?
