Houses and healings
<p><strong>Luke 4:38–44</strong>. We remain in Capernaum, and we find ourselves amidst the ruins of a cluster of approximately twelve houses, occupied during the first century AD, and close to the ruins of a synagogue. Buried beneath the remains of an octagonal, Byzantine church, are the ruins of one particular house, slightly larger than most, but still a relatively simple, single-story dwelling.</p><br><p>Like most early Roman-period houses, it consists of a few small rooms clustered around two open courtyards containing ovens and grinding stones – and probably a few chickens too – but it’s what happens to the house after the middle of the first century AD that marks it as being of particular interest …</p><br><p>Moving on from these archaeological remains, Luke paints a picture of Jesus healing each and every one brought to him. Some were sick with various diseases, others were possessed with demons, and very subtly Luke reminds us that this Jesus, the teacher from Nazareth, was none other than the Son of God – the Christ.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Words of authority
<p><strong>Luke 4:31–37</strong>. Most of those living in Capernaum were Jews, and they worked as fishermen and farmers, potters and traders, along with various officials – including the tax collectors. There was a small Roman garrison stationed there, who almost certainly enjoyed far better living conditions than those endured by the locals. There was a bathhouse – a Roman one, of course, and there was a synagogue.</p><br><p>In Capernaum, they were astonished at the teachings of Jesus because they heard in his words an authority – presumably quite unlike anything they had heard before. Luke then goes on to record a miracle. It’s the first miracle recorded by Luke, although it seems to be clear from what he has already told us that this was not the first miracle that Jesus performed. It is quite remarkable in a number of ways.</p><br><p>The people saw and heard the authority of Jesus as he taught – he spoke with authority – not like the religious experts of his day! When we read the teachings of Jesus – they make sense to us – we know they are true. They resonate within us. Even today we hear him speak with authority.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Rejection at Nazareth
<p><strong>Luke 4:20–30.</strong> Following his reading from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah, Jesus sparks a most dramatic response from those of his own home town. He addresses the reaction in three distinct ways, but rather than listen and learn from the great Teacher, they responded with deep anger.</p><br><p>For those who would follow the teachings of Jesus, even today – we should be prepared for the conflict and rejection that will follow. This is how it has always been. It seems as if the battle for the hearts and minds of mankind had entered a new phase, and nothing would ever be the same again.</p><br><p>Returning earlier in the day from Easby, in North Yorkshire, I stumbled across some exceptional Mediaeval wall frescos depicting a number of significant Biblical scenes, giving some food for thought for our mission segment towards the end of the show.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
