Luke 4:21-34
I love the ending of this story. He passes through the midst of them. He manages to avoid the murderous mob. What confidence this word must have given Luke’s congregation, who may have been a suffering gentile church, tossed out of synagogue for their faith in Jesus. God protects faithful Christians who are in danger.
Ina surprising turn of events, Jesus escapes an angry mob of congregants in his hometown. Why are they so angry? Why do Jesus’ neighbors and friends, those who would have known him the best, turn on him so quickly in this scene in Luke 4?
