Influencers

Influencers. The teachers of the law had a lot of influence. They had a huge following. And they often quoted and name-dropped other celebrity scribes to make their point of what must be done to win God's favor. So, when Jesus came and taught at the synagogue in Capernaum, folks may have assumed that another famous influencer was in their midst. They were shocked and amazed when the discovered that what He had to say was much different. He has come to be our Savior.
