"And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God."
Luke 4:33-34
There is a lot going on in this chapter, with Christ visiting Nazareth and being driven out, devils identifying him, healing everyone that was brought to him, and people pleading with him to stay with them. It kind of gives you a picture of how hectic his life was, and how unusual it was. I think it can also give us a lot of hope... if Christ endured his hometown trying to push him off a cliff and devils calling him out in public, along with many more of the obvious and sometimes much worse things he dealt with, then we *know* he can help us with our problems. He gets us, and he loves us. Let's turn to him and trust him.
