Sermon for 3/20/13

Sermon from Luke 4:16-44 “Jesus Gets No Respect”

Have you ever read about yourself in the paper or maybe in a book, story, or paper?

Amazing what people will say we think. Amazing what people will say we said, for that matter.

Jesus read from the scroll. It’s the day of God’s favor. It’s the day of God’s mercy.

Reaction?
 anger
 dissension
 attempt to kill Jesus
 We don’t want to see God making a difference or choosing some for his special favor

How does Jesus respond when mistreated?
 Goes elsewhere to bring God’s blessing
 Heals and cleanses people
 Goes to the little towns, villages, the little people
