THE MIGHTY WORKS OF JESUS

The works of Jesus are called miracle.
They form an integral part of the Gospel story.
Miracles are acts of power whose purpose is to establish the Kingdom of God.
They are exraordinary events that seem to go against the laws of nature e.g. Virgin conception, raising of the widow’s son to life.
These mighty works of Jesus reveal His person and Mission

The miracles of Jesus can be divided into four groups.

Nature miracles - E.g, Calming of the storm, Luke 8:22-25
Raising of the dead - E.g, the raising of Jairus’ daughter, Luke 8:46 – 56
Healing miracles - E.g,The healing of the Centurion’s servant, Luke 7:1 – 10 and the cure of the paralytic Luke 5:17 – 41
Exorcism/casting out of evil spirits – E.g,the healing of the Gerasene Demoniac, Luke 4:31 – 37

JESUS BEGINS HIS WORK IN GALILEE AND IS REJECTED IN NAZARETH - LUKE 4:14 – 30

LUKE 4:14 – 30

Luke 4:14-30 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry
14 Then Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding country. 15 He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.
The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth
16 When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
20 And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 Then he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?” 23 He said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘Doctor, cure yourself!’ And you will say, ‘Do here also in your hometown the things that we have heard you did at Capernaum.’” 24 And he said, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in the prophet’s hometown. 25 But the truth is, there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a severe famine over all the land; 26 yet Elijah was sent to none of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. 27 There were also many lepers[a] in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.” 28 When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with rage. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they might hurl him off the cliff. 30 But he passed through the midst of them and went on his way.

Jesus came to Nazareth where He had been brought up.
He went to the synagogue as He usually did on the Sabbath day.
He was given the book of Prophet Isaiah when He stood up to read.
He opened the book/ found the place that was written about Him/ read it to the people.
After reading, He closed the book, gave it to the attendant/ sat down.
Everybody in the synagogue looked at Him.
He told them that the scripture He had read was fulfilled in their hearing.
All people were happy with what He had spoken.
People wondered aloud saying,” Is this not Joseph’s son?”
Jesus told them that they would ask Him to do in His own country things He had done in Capernaum/ He told them that a Prophet is not accepted in his own country.
He told them that there were many widows in Israel during the time of Elijah but God sent the prophet to a widow in Zarephath/ God only healed Naaman the Syrian of leprosy during the time of Prophet Elisha.
They were filled with anger/ wanted to throw Him headlong/ down the cliff.
Jesus passed through their midst and went away.
