“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”
Isaiah 61:1 KJV
Our Lord Jesus spoke this Scripture from the prophet Isaiah in a synagogue in Nazareth. The Lord Jesus introduced His ministry to Israel of the mighty Spirit of the Lord being wrapped around Him because God has anointed Him to preach good news to the poor and to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted; to tell captives that they are free and to tell prisoners that they are free from darkness. This was Jesus’s twofold mission to the world - to open the door of the day of grace to the world; and to proclaim the day of vengeance on sin, darkness, sickness, and eventually to the enemy nations. As the Prophet Jesus came to declare the new season of grace; as the Priest, He came to heal; and as the King He declared peace and freedom to the captives. Let’s believe it. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!
