Today, this Scripture has been fulled in your hearing.
See
In this pivotal moment, Jesus reveals both His identity and mission. Standing in His hometown synagogue, He bridges ancient prophecy with present fulfillment. The careful investigation of Luke meets the bold declaration of Jesus, showing how God's promises find their "today" in Christ. This isn't just historical documentation - it's a living proclamation that continues to echo: good news for the poor, freedom for captives, sight for the blind, liberation for the oppressed. Jesus announces that God's time of favor isn't just coming - it's here, now, in our hearing.
Listen
Reflects
(Luke 1:1-4, 4:14-21)
-Jesus was led with the Spirit and sent. He came bursting with a message to communicate. When have you had the experience of being enthused by something in that way? Who have been the people you met who had that kind of enthusiasm?
-The message Jesus had was one of liberation and he told his listeners that it was being fulled even as they listened. When have you had a now moment of liberation? When has bible reading been an experience of liberation for you?
-His message was addressed to those who were poor, oppressed, blind, or captives. Who are these today? In what ways have I been, or am I, among these? How has the message of Jesus been good news for you, freed you, given you new sight, or revealed God’s favour to you?
Pray
Spirit of the living God, who anointed Jesus to proclaim liberation and healing, anoint us also to recognize Your presence in our "today," empower us to share Your good news, and help us become living fulfillments of Your promises to our world.
