Does God Owe You Anything? (Luke 4:16-30) | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

Hearing God in Luke:

Within six verses of saying Scripture had been fulfilled in their

hearing, Jesus' hometown was dragging Him toward a cliff. What set them off is worth understanding.

Today we're in Luke 4:16-30. Jesus announces the year of the Lord's

favor, which was Jubilee, and then He stops reading Isaiah mid-sentence. He

leaves out the part about vengeance, which is the part they had been waiting generations for. Then He tells two stories about God's mercy landing on outsiders, and the room turns on Him. Underneath all of it is a question worth sitting with in our own Bible study: do we want the miracle more than the miracle worker?
