As Jesus was in the temple reading from this passage in Isaiah, He was telling the World why He had come. Before He left this World He passed on this work to all Believers. We All have a Job to do. Not all are to help the poor, not all are to work with the blind, but we all have a job that God has called us to do. We need to be about that Job so the rest of the body of Believers can function properly. If our job is not getting done we are hindering the working of the whole Body.
Get Busy about your Work!!! Be Kingdom Minded.
16 Jesus traveled to Nazareth, the town where he grew up. On the Sabbath day he went to the synagogue as he always did. He stood up to read.
17 The book of Isaiah the prophet was given to him. He opened the book and found the place where this is written:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me.
He has chosen me to tell good news to the poor.
He sent me to tell prisoners that they are free
and to tell the blind that they can see again.
He sent me to free those who have been treated badly
19 and to announce that the time has come for the Lord to show his kindness.”
20 Jesus closed the book, gave it back to the helper, and sat down. As everyone in the synagogue watched him closely,
21 he began to speak to them. He said, “While you heard me reading these words just now, they were coming true!”
