The gospel today talks about how Jesus experienced rejection from people, even in his hometown.  Most, if not all of us have also experienced rejection and it is often a painful experience.  Jesus understands our pain and He gives a  good example of what we should do.  Based on the readings of Jeremiah 1: 4-19; 1 Corinthians 12: 31-13:13; & Luke 4: 21-30
