The Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

In the morning after listening to Jesus, the people were amazed at at the words He spoke. But, by nightfall, their amazement had disappeared.

This "home town" crowd wants to put Jesus in His place, a familiar place, a non-threatening place.
Do I try to put limits on God?
On other people?
