Well back slightly later than I thought!

Last weekend I flew to Inverness to spend some time with family, however our journey back was a little complicated, snow stopped play and after a extra unplanned night in Aberdeen due to cancelled flights, we ended up taking the train to London and arriving back on Tuesday evening.

 

It is interesting to see how people cope with changes to their plans, in spite of the knowledge that there was not going to be a flight to Luton that day, most of us argued and stressed over how we could make it happen.

 

I was smiling today when I read the account of Jesus in the synagogue. The elders gathered round expecting this man to make big changes in his own town, to right the wrongs and make things better, yet Jesus  lets them know that it is not going to happen. Hedoes the unexpected, and  what did they do, they threw him out of town.

 

 

The Jewish leaders in the synagogue,  were not prepared to listen when things did not go the way they expected, yet Jesus often meets us that way, doing the unexpected, asking us to go in different directions - how will we react, will we listen and obey, or will we also throw him out of town?
