We tell ourselves ‘It’s just not fair!’ ... when someone gets something they don’t deserve, especially when we think it ought to be given to us ... you know, the righteous ones! But Jesus was famous for turning things on their head, rather than doing things the way they “ought” to be done. It is, after all, the way of God’s reign. Too often we, like those who were in the synagogue when Jesus read from Isaiah, are amazed at Jesus’ words ... until we find that they’re words of challenge rather than words of praise. They call us to something more, or is it something less? Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith as they look in on this familiar story from the fourth chapter of Luke.
