The result of this message
I think this week's passage of scripture is incomplete without realising the context. What follows Jesus reading the scripture and making his outrageous claim is an attempt to throw him off a cliff. the hometown boy is no longer so popular. I wonder if their reaction would have been so violent if he had claimed to be the messiah, but one who would bring prosperity and wealth and power rather than justice and mercy?
