Isaiah 61:1-9 The Favorable Year of the Lord

In Isaiah 61:1-9 God pours out his Spirit, anointing a chosen servant to proclaim good news to the afflicted. That good news transforms God’s people. 700 years later Jesus stood up in a synagogue, read the first two verses of this passage, sat down and declared, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” The post Isaiah 61:1-9 The Favorable Year of the Lord first appeared on Observe the Word.
