Words Of Hope Friday, January 14 - a podcast by Cathedral of Hope UCC

The devotion for today, Friday, January 14, 2022 was written by Donald (Luke) Day and is narrated by Judithann Anderson.Today’s Words of Inspiration come from Luke 4:16-30:And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up…And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because God has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.God has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”…And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” …And they said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?” …And he said, “Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And there were many lepersin Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. But passing through their midst, he went away.Support the show (https://onrealm.org/cathedralofhope/give/wordsofhope)
