Jesus, the Scroll, and the Edge of the Cliff (Part II)

Church at the Red Door

As Paul Harvey would say, are you ready to hear "the rest of the story?" Last week, we observed the extraordinary moment when Jesus unrolled the scroll in the synagogue in Nazareth, read a prophecy about the coming messiah written by Isaiah 700 years prior, and simply said, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." Wow! Did you catch that? Jesus was leaving no room for speculation about who He was claiming to be. This simple act has reverberated down through the last 2,000 years and is still impacting millions of people each year. Jesus is "the man." Actually, Jesus is the God-man. Luke 4: 22-30
