When Jesus stands up to read from the prophecy of Isaiah in the gospel of Luke, he is rejected by the people in his hometown. Although he is proclaiming the year of the Lord’s “favor,” the people in the synagogue receive him with “no favor” because they know him: isn’t this Joseph’s son? Jesus’ response - that God’s grace goes to whom ever God wills, even outsiders - angers them so much they try to kill him. Here, the old adage “familiarity breeds contempt” holds true. Join me and Noël Neff in a discussion of the biblical text from Luke chapter 4.
