ruffled

Saturday February 9^th, Luke 4:  28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.  OK, so much for that cute little homeboy, let’s kill him.  When you are doing God’s will, expanding the Kingdom beyond the comfortable borders of our world, you are bound to ruffle a few feathers.  When that happens, remember that those feathers that have been ruffled are also the children of Gods.  Sometimes it is best to just walk away and bring them the Gospel another day and another way.  Sometimes it is best to stay and stand your ground.  Death for Jesus would have to wait for another day, but the stage was set, the powers of this world were on notice, God’s kingdom welcomes all and all our attempts to kill that notion are in vain.
