Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ
Of course, Jesus was right. We have the benefit of hindsight, so we have the benefit of knowing that everything Jesus said about himself is correct. Jesus knew who he was. But Jesus also knew that what he said, particularly about himself, would cause a lot of people to be angry. He knew that saying things like 'today, this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing,' would make a lot of people mad. That did not stop Jesus from speaking the truth. Even though he knew it would eventually lead to his death he still spoke. Not everyone wants to hear about Jesus. Some people don't believe in him, and some people just don't have the time. That should not stop us from proclaiming the name and good news of Jesus Christ. Jesus calls his disciples to go forth and make disciples of all nations. We, as Jesus' disciples, should follow that call. No matter what people say or do we should forever preach the name of Jesus Christ. God bless,
Pastor Josh
