Calcification

One of the lectionary readings for this week is Luke 4:21-30.  Jesus is in his hometown, and he is not accepted. 

As I was reading a devotional about that passage, I read the word calcified.  When something is calcified, it becomes hard and brittle.

Are we calcified?  Are we so set in our ways that we would throw Jesus off a cliff before we would allow his Word to soften our hearts and souls?  In what ways are we calcified?
