Jesus Rejected in his Hometown of Nazareth

Jesus Rejected in his Hometown of Nazareth For background on why Jesus was rejected in his hometown of Nazareth, read Luke 4:14-21. In a nutshell, Jesus returns to the town where he grew up and starts a public ministry. One Saturday, he goes to the front of the synagogue – the Jewish house of worship where he spent many Saturdays as a kid -- and reads a famous Messianic passage from the Prophet Isaiah. He finishes the prophecy – one that Jewish people had read for nearly 700 years – by identifying himself as the one spoken of by Isaiah. Can you imagine? You’ve grown up with this guy. You were in woodshop together at school. He’s the son of Joseph and Mary -- just regular townspeople. After thirty-something years of appearing “normal,” Jesus goes off and gets baptized by John at the river, runs off to the mountains for 40 days, and comes back revealing himself as the long-awaited Messiah to his hometown congregation. Needless to say, the people were a bit skeptical. Then, Jesus calls them out and challenges their doubt. He points to past Hebrew generations that also doubted the scriptures and the prophets. Ultimately, the townspeople get angry and even try to kill Jesus by throwing him off a local hillside. In the end, Jesus is rejected in his hometown of Nazareth. He escapes the mob, but is run out of town. http://www.drivethruhistory.com/jesus...
