I found this advertisement nailed to a tree just outside of
Nazareth and thought you would like to see it: “Did you hear the great
news? Jesus is coming to synagogue here in Nazareth tomorrow, and he is
sure to speak! He has been traveling around Galilee for a while now, and
everyone is talking about his miraculous healings and other acts. We hope
you will come hear our hometown hero during service tomorrow.”
Ok, maybe I made that up, but we can imagine something like this
circulating through Nazareth when Jesus returned to his home in Luke 4.
He had just gotten baptized and faced the devil in the desert (Luke 3), and now
he was home to share the goals of his ministry. Drawing on Luke’s narrative in
Luke 3 and 4, we will examine what Jesus said and discover the true nature of
his ministry on earth.
