Good News

 In both scriptures below we see the mission statement and declaration of Jesus Christ, in which he has fulfilled and still does to this day.


Isaiah 61:1

The Prophecy

1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me;

 because the Lord hath anointed me

to preach good tidings unto the meek;

he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives,

 and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,

 and the day of vengeance of our God;

 to comfort all that mourn;

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion,

 to give unto them beauty for ashes,

 the oil of joy for mourning,

the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;

 that they might be called trees of righteousness,

the planting of the Lord,

 that he might be glorified.



Luke 4:17-19

The Confirmation and Fulfillment


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.
