Passage: Isaiah 61:1-11 Speaker: Pastor Lukus Counterman Series: Advent (Past)
Speaker: Lukus Counterman - The Servant of the Lord (whose words are prophesied in Isaiah 61) would be the ultimate preacher and the Redeemer of Israel who rescues them. Jesus speaks of the initial fulfillment of this promise, referring it to His ministry of providing salvation’s comfort to the spiritually oppressed (Luke 4:18-19). He quotes from Isaiah 61:1-2 and says specifically, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” He was claiming to be the Messiah who would bring good news of great joy to all people, to all who will believe in His name. May the Lord fill our hearts with joy this season as we consider the Messiah, Jesus.
