And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. (Luke 4:29-30 ESV)
Kill the messenger was one of the favorite sports of these people; they had done so repeatedly with the prophets, and now they were doing it with the son of God. Like us, they like the wow of great teaching and the wonders of miracles - just don't apply conviction too close to my heart. This was more than "just go away;" this was "go away and never come back." A closed door. May we listen as He speaks, especially when we don't like what He has to say.
