Evening: Psalms 36, 39; Luke 4:31-37
Soon after being thrown out of Nazareth, Jesus taught, to great acclaim, in Capernaum (30 miles away). His reputation as a healer and authoritative teacher grew, as did opposition to him. There is conflict in any public life ... Jesus, after years of study and preparation, stepped into the public arena to advocate for justice and right relationships and against religious and political abuses. He faced suffering and death at the hands of political and religious powers-that-be. Faithfulness always requires a resilient stance before unrighteous power ... In spite of obstacles, you carry on doing what is right.
