I am reading through the whole Bible this year, and am currently in the book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament and 2 Timothy in the New Testament. But it doesn’t do a bit of good to read the Bible if I don’t intend to do what it says…to pay attention to what God wrote in His Word and obey Him.
This Sunday we will look at an event near the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, when he returned to His home town of Nazareth after a preaching tour throughout Galilee. He went to the Nazareth synagogue on the Sabbath, as He normally did. There he read a special section of the book of the prophet Isaiah, a Messianic prophecy, and explained to the people that the prophecy was fulfilled in their sight that very day.
The people of Nazareth thought they knew all about Jesus, the local boy, son of Mary and Joseph, a carpenter. They did not believe that He could be the Messiah, even though they had been looking and waiting for God’s promised Messiah for hundreds of years. Instead, they tried to kill Him. The people of Nazareth were not able to find the blessings that come from obeying God’s Word and believing in His Son.
This Sunday we will begin our Thanksgiving Food Drive as we decorate our grocery bags to help remind us to bring in canned goods and staples. You will want to be there, and to bring a friend along. See you Sunday!
Tom and Sydney Cook
