Our Bible reading today is in Jeremiah 26-29. The reading begins with a very hard sermon by Jeremiah.
I remember some hard sermons that Jesus preached. One to his hometown, and one he preached on the Temple mount. Most in his audience would be confused, and many would be offended.
“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.””
