Please be in prayer for our worship service as we consider this crucial and strategic passage on the sermon Jesus preaches in Nazareth, which comes off the heals of his successful victory over the devil in the wilderness.
What Luke wants us to see here is that until a sinner comes to terms with his/her sin condition, he/she isn't ready to respond rightly to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Indeed, if truth be known, we are all poor, captive, blind, and oppressed due to the guilt and corruption of sin.
But in coming to terms with this, we see the glory and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ who comes to liberate us through his life, death, and resurrection from the grave. His victory becomes our record, by repentance and faith.
