b'Sermon illuminating the truth from chapter 4 of Luke\'s Gospel account of Jesus being unwelcome in his hometown of Nazareth by those who would have restricted His radical message of salvation (such as loving your enemies and doing good to those who hate you) to fit it into their own ideas of who and where the Holy Spirit should bless--showing how salvation can be understood not as God making "others" more like us, but as making them and us more like Himself--where we can imitate Jesus in His dependence on the Holy Spirit, and not be captive to our own imagined boundaries that put us in danger of missing the full effects of the Lord\'s Favor.'
