Preaching Is Risky
Luke 4:21-30
In a sense they were saying, how can he say that the scripture has been fulfilled in me when Jesus is just the son of a carpenter?
They also were thinking in their hearts, why doesn’t he do miracles here as he did Capernaum. Prove to us he is the Messiah.
The people’s expectation of the preacher Jesus was different than Jesus’ own expectations.
We want to hear from God through our preacher what we want to hear, not what God through the preacher is trying to say.
And through God’s word, Jesus is meddling in our lives. He is telling us that through his word we can find the authority for our lives.
God could have cried out from outer space a million years, saying, “I love you, I love you,” but we would not have believed him.
