Every preacher knows that not every homily works out all that well! We have all received anonymous letters or heard the complaints that hit you like a drive-by shooting at the church door.
Jesus had the same problem. After one of his homilies in the synagogue of his home town of Nazareth, he was almost lynched!
"They got up and drove Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff."
Luke 4:29
Don't think they are going to be throwing you off the cliff anytime soon.
