Truth, Conflict, and the Messiah

April 7, 2024 • Mike Greiner • Luke 4:14–30

Jesus preaches with bold truth in his hometown synagogue, declaring himself the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy about the Messiah. His words proclaiming good news to the poor, freedom to captives, and the Lord's favor initially amaze the listeners. However, conflict erupts when they dismiss Jesus as merely "Joseph's son," leading him to rebuke their unbelief by citing instances where prophets were rejected in Israel. Enraged, the crowd tries to kill Jesus for his provocative teaching.


This passage demonstrates Jesus uncompromisingly speaking God's truth despite opposition, challenging listeners then and now to decide if they will humbly receive or shamefully reject the truth he boldly declares.
