Luke 4:16-20

Listen to Luke 4:16-20

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted*, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

The Year of God's Favor

Pastor Jack Morris

Today, Pastor Jack Morris takes us on a journey from the Old Testament to the New Testament, exploring the profound significance of the Year of Jubilee as described in Leviticus 25. This was a time when debts were forgiven, slaves were set free, and God's grace and forgiveness were celebrated. In Luke Chapter 4, Jesus stood in the synagogue and read from these ancient writings, declaring that He was the fulfillment of this promise. Pastor Morris draws a powerful comparison between this Old Testament tradition and how Jesus not only fulfilled it but continues to extend His grace, freedom, and forgiveness to us today. Join us for this inspiring message of redemption and renewal.
