Luke 4:14-30

In this passage where Jesus returns home and preaches at 'his own church'. He speaks very graciously to them to start with - sharing the understanding of his calling based on the words of Isaiah and the day of the Lord's favour.
But his message changes. 'Joseph's son' is not going to perform any tricks for them; or even more significantly, the message he is bringing is not for them.
Here you can understand the anger and disappointment of the crowd. The most exciting thing to happen in Nazareth for a long time is not going to happen after all!! Jesus is quite focused on what he is called to do. And pleasing his family and friends at home is not part of it.
With a bluntness we often save for those we know best, he tells them straight that he is not going to play to their expectations. He tells them that it will be very difficult for them to accept him because they know him too well.
But maybe worst of all, that his message is 'foreigners' - maybe even those outside Israel.
After such excitement and anticipation about the Messiah having actually arrived, it's not hard to understand their disappointment - or even anger.
But Jesus calmly ignores them and walks away. He has set his face forward. There's no going back.
