Have you ever felt rejected, marginalised or quietly judged by your own friends, family and neighbours? Imagine Jesus returning to speak in his hometown synagogue and being turned on by his own people. One minute, they were marvelling at this 'local boy made good'; the next, they sought to throw him to his death from a local cliff. Thankfully, they underestimated the power of a mighty God who stepped in to save the day. A mighty God who acts in ways that are unexpected, unplanned and out of our control. Sometimes we marvel at that, sometimes it drives us crazy. But always, it is a Small Wonder that brings us Big Hope.
