Sermon Overview:
Luke 4:22-30
Jesus is rejected by the people of his own town because they know his connections, they remember his past, and therefore they don’t believe him to be who people are saying, and they don’t like his words. From this passage we can see why unbelief reacts the way it does to Jesus, and why Jesus makes such a good high priest.
