And he 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.(Luke 4:31-32 ESV)
Like at Nazareth, the people at Capernaum were astonished at Jesus' teaching, and joined in the general concensus that it was like no other. But in contast to the former group, those in Capernaum saw that His word possessed authority. They really trusted and received it, unlike those in His hometown who resisted it so strongly. As we will see, it makes a world of difference in our lives how we view His Word. Do we give it the right (and therefore Him the right) to tell us how to live?
