   01/23/2022 — Jesus Goes to Nazareth   
  
Fun Fact
Did you know that Jesus was rejected by his own townspeople in Nazareth where he had been brought up? Jesus returns to the town where he grew up and starts a public ministry. One Saturday, he goes to the front of the synagogue 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 one Sunday morning during service, from the pulpit, someone declares the same? You've grown up with this person. 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, 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.

Jesus rejected at Nazareth (2:07)
28 When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29 And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff (From Luke 4).
