Reflection
Jesus stood up to read from the prophet Isaiah. It was a passage about the coming Messiah. Here he is announcing himself as the Messiah: “the spirit of the Lord has been given to me”. What follows is a “mission statement” of his kingdom - bringing good news to the poor, liberty to captives, sight to the blind. Jesus is the servant king. We are called to be the same. Jesus tells his hearers that, with his own coming, God is visiting his people right now. And he’s visiting every single one of his people, from that day to this.
