THURSDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD
1 John 4: 19-5:4
Luke 4:14-22
THE PUBLIC MINISTRY OF JESUS
At the beginning of the public ministry of Jesus, he returned to his own home and entered the synagogue to preach to them.
The words of Jesus in the gospel reading of today are his mission statement. They are the things Jesus has come to do for us. The Spirit of the Lord is upon him, he has been anointed to preach the good news to the poor. God has sent him to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. Jesus has good plans for us, may these and many more be made manifest in our lives, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
