—Luke 4:16-21
by: Jennifer Lewis Berg.
“Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21). Handed to Him by someone else, Jesus read the words of Isaiah in the synagogue. God may have sent Isaiah to say those words 700 years earlier, but they were really meant to introduce His Son to mankind. The anointed Messiah was there on that day to proclaim the fulfillment of God’s greatest promise: freedom from sin, the blessing of God’s Good News, and to announce that God’s favor had finally come to man. It is our job to carry on the ministry of Christ today.
