This morning, Emily preached from Luke 4:14-21.
In today’s gospel (Luke 4:14-21), Jesus’ address announces his identity and mission in the world. This also identifies what Christ’s followers’ mission ought to be, and it reveals to us God’s heart for the poor, oppressed, and imprisoned. By his use of scripture to make this declaration, Jesus also reminds us of the great gift that God has blessed us with by giving us the written Word of God: why not open it?
