Third Sunday of Epiphany | Good News is Bad News is Good News

Read Luke 4:14-21

Good News is Bad News is Good News

This morning's gospel reading is undoubtedly about the good news in connection with Jesus as he preaches his first hometown sermon in Nazareth. But like a lot of good news, there is often a little bad news lurking quietly. Perhaps Martin Luther was not too far off when he famously said, "The gospel is bad news before it's good news."
