—Luke 4:24-30
by: Denovia Mckenzie.
There are two key highlights from this passage for us to meditate on today: 1) We can miss what God is saying and doing when we are prideful. One key indication of pride is when we will only accept a message from some people and tune out others, as the Pharisees did when they refused to believe a carpenter could be the Son of God; 2) We should never seek to compromise the message of the gospel to please people. Jesus’ message was not popular among the religious leaders, but He never watered it down. We must speak the truth of God’s Word always and not compromise so people will like us more.
