What Rejecting Jesus Looked Like That Day

After performing many miracles in the region of Galilee, Jesus returned to Nazareth with his disciples to continue his ministry. As he taught in the synagogue, the crowd turned from being amazed to being offended in a matter of minutes. What was it that Jesus said that offended them? Would we have been offended had we been there that day? As followers of Christ, our acceptance of Him and the things He taught often times means laying to rest things we have always believed. We must always be asking ourselves, "What does Scripture teach and example," rather than, "What do I want to believe?" Often times, this can only be done through faith.
