Proverbs 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. The Spirit of Christ brings glad tidings to the poor, healing to the broken in heart, liberty for those crushed under cruelty and oppression, and proclamation of a better Country and a Day of Eternal Righteousness to come. To those who are of the truth, the light springing up in their darkness is the glory of God and salvation but to the rest who hate the light, it is the doom of God's rejection. To Jesus' friends and neighbors in Nazareth it was an offense that someone they thought they knew for thirty years could dare to announce the Glad Tidings of God's salvation with authority. What then sets them in a fury to kill Him, is when He puts His finger directly on their unfitness and rejection of God because of their over familiarity and unbelief. Just like Israel in Elijah and Elisha's times, the people were calloused over in their hearts against the LORD, and had all but forsaken Him for the gods of the heathen so God rejected their widows and lepers and gave the blessing and the healing to strangers who appreciated it. So it is with all knowledge of God's holy things: to those who have shall more be given but to those who have not, even what they have shall be taken away from them.
