The sermon is from Luke 4:16-30 – “The Hometown Heretic”.  “When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath.”  – Luke 4:28

Compare the rage of Luke 4:28 with the admiration of Luke 4:22. At one moment, the worshippers in the synagogue were marveling over Christ’s words. A few moments later they were filled with wrath and seeking to kill Him. Why the sudden alteration in their opinion of Christ? Christ had essentially reminded them of the promises of God’s covenant with their forefather Abraham. God had declared in Genesis 12:3 that in Abraham all the families of the earth would be blessed. Christ simply reminded them of God’s love for the nations of the world (See Luke 4:25-27). A message regarding God’s love filled them with hate.
