As we look at the Luke 4:21-30 a number of questions arise. How is Jesus a prophet? What does the prophetic voice sound like? And, Why did the people go from loving Jesus to wanting to kill Jesus in a few paragraphs? 

What you believe about the future will change everything about how you live your life right now. Human beings have seemed to always understand this, so they constantly wonder about the future. In the Gospel of John, Jesus performs seven signs—they’re not called miracles, but signs—in the hopes that his followers will begin to believe, and even maybe to know that they have a future that is good. The first sign—weddings and wine and Jewish rites of purification—reveals something essential about the kingdom of God, and the future of the whole world.
