Luke 4: 21-30
Prayer of Confession
O God, Jesus preached his first sermon in his hometown of Nazareth, proclaiming good news for the poor, release for captives, sight for the blind, and freedom from oppression. The response of Jesus' friends and neighbors quickly turned from amazement to anger. They thought that they should have the ear and eye and heart of God before others. They would limit God's love, limit God's regard, limit God. Forgive our willingness to accept Jesus only on our own terms. May the church always be a place where barriers break, doors open, horizons broaden, and love spreads. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
