mcityToday in church, the pastor made a point about how Jesus was kind of a rebel. He cited certain verses in Luke 4, which can be summarized thusly.
Jesus: Fellow Nazarenes, I know you want me to heal people. But I can't just heal everyone. Elisha didn't heal everyone. Eliseus didn't heal everyone either.
Synagogue: We're going to throw you off a cliff now.
Jesus: Nope.
And then Jesus escapes the angry mob and vanishes like a ninja. I'm not even joking. That is what the scripture says.

28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way. (NIV)I just have this image of a DnD game where the GM asks Josh to make like 15 Evade rolls and he just gets a Natural 20 on every single one.
