The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favour and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn. (Isaiah 61:1-2)
Does any of this sound familiar? If you remember, when Jesus read this reading in the temple, he completed it by saying “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21)
But just because it is fulfilled, doesn’t mean it isn’t still a command to us today. How are we taking the opportunity to preach the good news, and to proclaim the year of His favour?
Are we doing enough, or are we just sitting back and thinking: “Jesus did it, it’s all over.”?
We need to get in the game, and start sharing what has been given to us. Joy of salvation.
