Luke 4:22 (ESV) — And all spoke well of him and marveled at the
gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, “Is not this
Joseph’s son?”
…
Luke 4:28 (ESV) — When they heard these things, all in the synagogue
were filled with wrath.
NOTE: How quickly
the crowed changes. When they don't get
their way, the same people who marveled at his gracious words were filled with
wrath and ready to throw him off a cliff. A very fickle group, or maybe, a group
more interested in getting their own way. We live in an evil world. It has
always been evil. Sin rules our bodies. The scriptures say we are slaves. And
even those who are set free, still struggle as Paul did, with the body, our
human nature. The good news is that because of Jesus, a time will come for
believers when we will be given new glorious bodies and we will be rid of the
corrupted body we now own.
PRAYER: Father, I so
look forward to that day. It is hard to look upon our sin-corrupted world these
days. I pray for words and wisdom to share my faith in a manner pleasing to
you.
