Commentary

 

Jesus is Rejected at Nazareth

By Junchol Lee


To continue browsing while you listen, play the audio in a new window.

There is a saying that a person "can't see the forest for the trees." What this means is that we often get lost, focused on and attached to matters closely related to ourselves, and thus we miss seeing and acknowledging the bigger picture within which we exist. It is especially difficult to acknowledge and accept truths that reveal a reality that is not aligned with, or even opposes, the reality that we wish to be true. For the people of Nazareth, those who grew up with Jesus, accepting Jesus as the Messiah was a challenge like this, a challenge that would have been difficult for any human being...

(References: Isaiah 1:10)

Marriage #89

Study this Passage

  
/ 126  
  

89. I saw prostitutes who hid themselves in the western region and blocked the roads so that they could not be approached except when they wished. I was taken to that place, and they were prostitutes who were all cast into a swampy lake, far behind the back to the west. These were those who had been openly prostitutes.
