The Spirit of the LORD is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free. Luke 4:18
Jesus was baptized, went into the wilderness for forty days to fast and pray, was tempted by satan and now returns to Galilee and the city of Nazareth, the place of His birth. Speaking in the synagogue on the Sabbath, He takes the scroll and reads from the book of Isaiah the prophet, who spoke as though he personally knew Jesus 700 years before His birth.
Jesus is revealing Himself, telling people who He is, why He is there and what He plans to do.
* Proclaim freedom for those held in bondage and have no advocate.
* Restore vision to those who are blind and cannot find their way.
* Give justice to the oppressed that have no voice.
It is not only eternal life Jesus came to give, but just plain life!!!! Believe, Repent and LIVE.
Love,
