Luke 4:24–30
And
he said, ‘Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in the prophet’s home town.
But the truth is, there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when
the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and there was a severe
famine over all the land; yet Elijah was sent to none of them except to a widow
at Zarephath in Sidon. There were also many lepers in Israel in the time of the
prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.’ When
they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with rage. They got up, drove
him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town
was built, so that they might hurl him off the cliff. But he passed through the
midst of them and went on his way.

Dose
the Word of God made flesh fell upon my deaf ears?
If
you were asked to proclaim one piece of Scripture to your community, what would
it be? As you think about your choice, notice how you choose it.
