Luke 4:21-30
No one likes to be deceived. We prefer the truth even though it is unpleasant. People are disturbed when told by their doctor that they have cancer, but it is even more disturbing to have cancer and to find out that the doctor did not tell you the truth.
But perhaps there is one kind of truth that we prefer not to hear, the truth that involves us making a complete change in our lives. There was once a lecturer who had a plaque on his door, 'My mind is made up. Please don’t confuse me with the facts.' Is this how most of us feel about this kind of truth?
