"As his custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day." Luke
4:16

There are many evidences that Jesus had fixed religious habits. Here we
have a hint of His attending the synagogue worship on the Sabbath. This
had been His custom from childhood, and although He was the Son of God,
Lord of earth and Heaven, and had been manifested as the Messiah — He
still continued to observe the custom. Some people are careless about
church attendance. They find fault perhaps with the minister — he does
not feed them, they say. They mean that he does not entertain them. Now
no doubt Jesus heard a great may dull talks and sermons — but He did
not on that account, stay away from the synagogue. He went there to
worship God — not to enjoy an intellectual entertainment.

Others stay away from church, as they say, because there are so many
inconsistent Christians who attend, or because the church is so
imperfect. We know that it was just the same when Jesus was on the
earth. There were a great many church members in Nazareth and elsewhere
who were very imperfect. Our Lord knew all about men\
