Luke 4:14-30

Familiarity with Jesus can dangerously blind us to His true nature and power. When we become too comfortable in our faith, we stop being in awe of who He is and take His grace for granted. In Luke 4, Jesus returned to Nazareth where the people initially marveled at His teaching but ultimately rejected Him because they were too familiar with Him as Joseph's son and offended by His inclusive message. Jesus confronts our comfort not to condemn us but to invite us into deeper freedom and transformation, challenging us to move beyond mere admiration to complete surrender.
