Jesus is filled with the Spirit. Three temptations before his ministry begins, then he returns to Galilee to preach. He mic drops after reading the Isiah scroll and they’re all positive towards him.

He could stop there, but he doesn’t. He clarifies that he’s not here just to people-please and make everyone happy.he is like, “I know I’ll offend you” and then he starts offending. He reminds them Elijah and Elisha ministered to non-Jews and maybe found more faith there too.

They didn’t like that. They wanted to throw him off a cliff.

It’s interesting that v26 Elijah was sent to none of [the widows in Israel] except to the widow at Zarephath in Sidon and V27 none of the lepers [in Israel] was cleansed except naaman the Syrian

It’s a confusing testimony that the glory of God is revealed in the miracles amidst the suffering of the other people not experiencing the miracles. And an infuriating testimony, apparently, that the chosen ones would be non-Jews.

Jesus shakes up what they think they know. Their confidence is poorly placed if it’s in their genealogy.

Jesus scoots on by. Not today, Satan.
