Story Overview:

For the first time in his ministry, Jesus preached at his home synagogue. At get-go, the listeners liked the message that Jesus preached. When the people began to disagree with God's message, they got mad at Jesus and tried to throw him off of a cliff. Fifty-fifty though the whole crowd was trying to kill him, Jesus miraculously walked right through them and left. Information technology tin can be difficult to share God's message.

Background Report:

Jesus began to ascent in popularity as he preached more and more. One Sabbath (well-nigh probably a year later on he had started his ministry) Jesus was invited to speak at the synagogue in Nazareth. Although he was born in Bethlehem, he grew up in Nazareth. This was his hometown. The people who had watched Jesus abound upwardly would have been excited that such a popular preacher had come from their town. It was the custom to allow visiting teachers to speak to the congregation with the special invitation of the synagogue leaders.

Notice in verse 16 that it was Jesus' custom to nourish the synagogue every Sabbath. This is a lesson in itself that the children tin can chronicle to.

Jesus read from the book of Isaiah. The custom was to read from the Hebrew and so he or someone else paraphrased it in Aramaic, i of the other common languages of the day. The scrolls were kept in a special place in the synagogue and handed to the reader by a special attendant. The passage Jesus read about the Messiah (Isaiah 61:i-2) may have been one he chose to read, or it may accept been the assigned passage for the day. The verse tells of the Messiah's ministry of preaching and healing—to run into every man demand. Jesus was proclaiming liberation form sin and all its consequences.

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, considering the Lord has anointed me to proclaim practiced news to the poor.
He has sent me to demark up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the yr of the Lord's favor and the twenty-four hour period of vengeance of our God, to condolement all who mourn.
Isaiah 61:one-two, NIV

It was customary to stand up while reading Scripture just to sit while education.

In verses 26-27 Jesus refers to ane Kings 17:i-15 and 2 Kings 5:1-14 to mention Gentiles who God helped. Jesus' point was that when Israel rejected God's messenger of redemption, God sent him to the Gentiles—and and then it would be once more if they refused to take Jesus. This is the point when the Jews became so furious with the bulletin that they tried to take Jesus to a cliff and throw him off.

Poesy 30 does not say whether Jesus escaped miraculously or whether he was able to simply walk through the crowd as a result of his commanding presence. In whatever case, his fourth dimension to die had non yet come (John 7:xxx).

The Story:

Jesus went to many places to tell people about God. After he had been doing that for a while he decided to go back to the boondocks of Nazareth. Nazareth was the boondocks where Jesus had grown up. That was the town where his old friends and teachers lived.

People in Nazareth had heard well-nigh Jesus. They knew that he was a preacher and that lots of people liked him. They were proud of Jesus and were glad that he was from Nazareth. Mayhap he would do a miracle in Nazareth.

Jesus was in Nazareth on the Sabbath – the day of worship. Guess what Jesus did? Do you lot retrieve he went to sport? Do you think he slept in or went to the embankment? No, of class not! Jesus did what he did every Sabbath day. He went to the synagogue to worship.

The leaders of the synagogue were so happy to encounter Jesus that they asked him to read a Scripture and then preach about information technology.

Jesus stood up picked upwardly the scroll where the Word of God was written. He unrolled the whorl and read from information technology. Then he sat down and began to preach.

The Jews in the synagogue actually liked what Jesus was preaching. They were glad that Jesus was a Jew like them. Some of them even idea that Jews were ameliorate than anyone else. Then Jesus said something that they did not similar. He said that God loves everyone. God loves the Jews but God also loves the people that are not Jews. God wants everyone to learn near him.

The Jews got very angry. They did non want anyone but the Jews to hear about God. Fifty-fifty though Jesus was preaching the truth, the people got mad at him.

The people started pushing Jesus and telling him he had to exit. They followed him and kept pushing him forwards until he got to a large cliff. There was nowhere else for Jesus to go. It seemed everyone was going to push button him off of the cliff!

Then something astonishing happened. The bible said that Jesus just walked right through the oversupply and left.

How did he do that? How could he just walk correct through a crowd that was trying to push him off of a cliff? He could practise that considering Jesus is the Son of God. He has the ability of God. He tin practice anything!

Jesus was not sorry that he preached the things that God wanted him to preach. He did it even if people did not like him.
