The religious Jews in Nazareth came to the synagogue to hear one of their own teach God’s word. They were moved and even marveled at the graciousness of His message. When they learned that His grace was not only for them, but for the people that they hated and looked down on, they became enraged and wanted to kill Him.

Suffering and the Kingdom of God
We all go through seasons of suffering. We suffer as a result of living in a fallen world. On occasion we are hurt because of our own decisions and often we suffer because of the actions of others. While God does not cause us to suffer, He does work through suffering to accomplish His kingdom purposes. When we realize this we are able to find joy in the midst of suffering.
