Attempted murder Lk 4.21-30 (03.02.2013)

Lk shows the situation:
Already at the times of Elijah: as there was a great famine - the profet didn't help
Also at the times of Elisha - there was a great number of lepers -
                                                                                              the profet didn't help
The same now at Nazareth - there are many sick people - the profet cannot help.

Why not ?
Because wonders / signs of Jesus are not meant to satisfy the needs of the people,
to fulfill the desires or the expectations of the people -
wonders are signs to show in which directions "life" has to develop
in order to participate with the fullness of Life.

A very old missunderstanding.
Since there are gods, in some religions there is a tendency to let people believe: gods - if willingly - are able to help. Gods are mighty, are mostly good; if you fulfill god's will, he/she will help - maybe! And this is a reason why people became beggars. Such missunderstanding has taken place also among the Jahwe-believers -
until 2013 -
and if the god is not fulfilling the people's expectations, people can get very angry...

Our question of last Advent:
which kind of God people have in mind - is still actual
