Jesus leaves Judea due to the arrest of John the Baptist. He begins His Galilean Ministry by relocating to Capernaum and traveling through Galilee preaching, teaching and doing signs and wonders. Early in that ministry He returns to His home town of Nazareth. There, as is His custom, attends synagogue on the Sabbath. He reads the prophet, Isaiah Chapter 61 and declares that they are witnesses to the realization of that prophesy. Initially, they are impressed at His words. However, He knows their hearts and tells them that God sent Elijah to a gentile widow, even though there were many widows in Israel and that Elisha healed a gentile of leprosy, even though there were many lepers in Israel. In essence He told them they, like Israel when it was hard hearted and did not seek the Lord, will miss the blessings of God. Instead of repenting, the entire synagogue became enraged to the point they move Jesus to the brow of the hill the town was built on to throw Him off. Because it was not Jesus’ time nor how He was to die, He simply walked away. When Jesus tells us difficult things, instead of becoming enraged or indifferent, we should repent and seek to be closer to Him, rather than having Him walk away.
