UPON HIM
Luke 4:18-19
“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”
Encouraging Words
Many years before Jesus was born, Isaiah, a great prophet, proclaimed that the Messiah was coming and that He would do great things. This list that Jesus proclaims in this passage to launch His ministry comes from the prophesy of Isaiah. As we look at the life of Jesus and His ministry, we see Him doing all of these things. He not only proclaims who He is, but demonstrates it in a way that no one ever had before Him or has done since He was here. This is the Son of Man, the Son of God, that we put our hope in. Glory be to God!
