All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked --Luke 4:22
I want to share something about what Bill Johnson preached during kingdom culture. As you read through Luke 4:22, you might notice those people in the synagogue did believe and recognize He is the Messiah and Son of God but afterward those people still think of Jesus as son of Joseph. Ok! Here's the thing, in the story you may very well discover people usually like to perceive things which is controllable. Have you ever thought of something that was totally blown you away and then all of a sudden that rational part of your brain start to tell you that you need to keep it real? Then you just surrender to whatever your brain tell you to do and give up everything you once believed.
You know what? This is purely human nature, people like to do things and think things in a controllable way. But at the end of day, you can always do things in an easy way and you are certain of your outcome then why bother to have faith because you are just being programmed. At the end of day, your reward is totally perceivable. Follow Jesus is not something programmed nor easy because we are being created to be His warrior who lives on the edge. Believe me, it's so worth it to take this roller-coaster ride with Him.
