Tim Cain, pastor at Kaleo Church in El Cajon, California, reminds us how easy it can be to fall down the slippery slope of envying those living "the good life" in the world around us. The psalmist in Psalm 73 starts off in that direction, wondering where is God when the wicked prosper and have lives of ease, while His people suffer. It's not until he enters God's sanctuary that he is reminded that the truly good life is wherever God is...and because of the gift of Jesus, God's presences is here with us today. Even in the midst of our suffering and sorrows we can truly life the good life as we wait expectantly for the glory that is to come.

The Good Life - Notes

In Luke 4:16–30, we see a hometown crowd shift instantly from amazement to fury. While they were initially captivated by Jesus’ words, their hearts hardened when He refused to fit their expectations. By reading Isaiah 61, Jesus declares Himself the long-awaited Savior who brings freedom to the captive and sight to the blind. However, as John 1:11 reminds us, "He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him." Jesus does not come to affirm our comforts or meet our demands; He comes to offer the grace of true repentance.
