Last week, we heard the beginning of Jesus public ministry with the miracle at the wedding at Cana. From there, He goes back to his home town of Nazareth, where He proclaims to the people in the Synagogue that He has begun the work of salvation. Their response was less than enthusiastic. How do we respond to Jesus when He speaks to us and tells us what He wants to do for us?
