An Ancient Synagouge in Israel

Luke 4:31-32 "And he (Jesus) went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath, and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word possessed authority."

I think there are two over whelming feelings/ thoughts that come to mind. 1)Thankfulness and gratitude. He laid out a revolution for the time period he was in. He paved the way for quality and freedom. He paid the ultimate price for me so that I won't have be separated from God. 2)Frustration for the underlining misconsceptions I have had for him. I have had to learn how to see Jesus/ God for who he is and not for how he has been portrayed in our culture.
