4	Luke 4:20-30	5/22	Luke 4:28–30 (ESV) — 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. 30 But passing through their midst, he went away.	They did not like the message. It was not what they wanted to hear. It did not fit their idea of the Messiah. It did not fit their desires. They not only rejected Jesus but determined he was a blasphemer, indicated by their actions to throw him off of a cliff. But truth is truth, and you cannot get rid of truth because you do not like how it sounds. If we don't like the God of the Bible, there is no other God. You just cannot make up who you think God is or should be. God does not fit in our boxes. God cannot even fit in our imaginations because he is so much greater than our comprehension. We should not be surprised we cannot understand God. We should be surprised--no, worried--if we think we can understand God. We can know God, because he has made himself known, but we can never comprehend God.	Father, forgive us for our sinful attempts to make you into a sort of servant to make our lives better. We are to be your servants. To think of any other arrangement is disgusting when truly digested. Father, have mercy on us. Have mercy on me.
