S – He then rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him. ²¹ He began by saying to them, “Today as you listen, this Scripture has been fulfilled.

Luke 4:20–21 CSB

O – Commentary: Writers of the Dead Sea Scrolls, who believed that they lived on the verge of the end time, often stressed the immediacy of biblical prophecies, applying descriptions of Nahum, Habakkuk and others to their own day. Interpreting the Bible this way was thus not in itself offensive to first-century Palestinian Jews; the offense was implying that God’s end-time activity had arrived in Jesus’ own ministry

The IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament

A – Jesus changed the normal, everyday life.  The words he read were the hope of all Israel – a messiah was coming to save them and set them free.  They just didn’t want it to be him.  They envisioned something or somebody else.  Their vision put Jesus “in a box” – their box.  I can do that too.  Put God’s will or purpose in my own viewfinder and struggle with His plan.  I need to invite the Holy Spirit to open my heart to what He is doing.

R – Lord, help me to see through your eyes today and know your will.  Help me to feel what you feel today and have a heart of compassion.  And give me the strength and courage to do what you call me to do today to fulfill your purpose in my life.
