Wonder of Advent #6
Read: Isaiah 61:1-3
LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.
Isaiah 61:1
JESUS QUOTED this messianic prophecy from Isaiah when he taught at his hometown synagogue in Nazareth and declared the prophecy to be fulfilled (Luke 4:16-21). If we want to know what God-in-the-flesh is like and what he intends to accomplish in our lives, this is it: He brings good news, meets the needs of the poor, comforts the brokenhearted, and releases captives, reaching into every area of fallenness—spiritual, physical, emotional, relational . . . all of it. The child in Bethlehem came with a comprehensive mission to bring God’s Kingdom into our lives.
REFLECTION
What do you need God to accomplish in your life? What aspect of Jesus’ ministry applies most to your situation today? How does his promise stir up your faith to receive this renewal?
