4th Sunday after Epiphany

Luke 4:21-30

Today is the day
No more waiting
No more getting ready

and with a collective sigh
all thought he was cute

---------and would learn some day

“They are not like us”
“We are the chosen
------ frozen
---------- righteous
of god
in our image
and the young Jesus reminded them
of the limitlessness of God
and God’s view of neighbor
and reminded them of the difference
between the world as is
and the world will be
but he walked right through the crowd
set to enforce
with force
what is
and went on his way
to what will be
