Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Jesus – Saviour: Faith” In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed that Prophet Isaiah’s prophesy is fulfilled in Him. The crowd in Nazara, were filled with awe. Ponder on, “When the Gospel Truth touches our hearts, do we act on the inspirations or do we shy away from doing God’s Will? How is the Holy Spirit urging you to speak about God’s Will courageously, like Jesus?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 4:16-22a
Jesus came to Nazara, where he had been brought up, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day as he usually did. He stood up to read, and they handed him the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Unrolling the scroll he found the place where it is written:
The spirit of the Lord is on me, for he has anointed me to bring the good news to the afflicted. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives, sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim a year of favour from the Lord.
He then rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the assistant and sat down. And all eyes in the synagogue were fixed on him. Then he began to speak to them, ‘This text is being fulfilled today even while you are listening.’ And he won the approval of all, and they were astonished by the gracious words that came from his lips.
