Luke 4:20–30. Following his reading from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah, Jesus sparks a most dramatic response from those of his own home town. He addresses the reaction in three distinct ways, but rather than listen and learn from the great Teacher, they responded with deep anger.

For those who would follow the teachings of Jesus, even today – we should be prepared for the conflict and rejection that will follow. This is how it has always been. It seems as if the battle for the hearts and minds of mankind had entered a new phase, and nothing would ever be the same again.

Returning earlier in the day from Easby, in North Yorkshire, I stumbled across some exceptional Mediaeval wall frescos depicting a number of significant Biblical scenes, giving some food for thought for our mission segment towards the end of the show.
