Introduction

Jesus returns to his hometown and offers a sermon in the synagogue. He chooses two well-known texts from Isaiah, and offers words that both surprise and shock those gathered. What does this early sermon reveal about Jesus?

Scripture: Luke 4:14-21

Then Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding country. He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone. When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him.
