Isaiah 61:1 (NKJV)
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
Isaiah 61 is one of my favorite descriptions of Jesus. Written 700 years before He walked into the synagogue and read these words about Himself, it is both a forecast of His ministry and, as F.B. Meyer points out, a forecast of a world full of people who need everything about Him.
He is still carrying out this ministry today. I am so grateful and still need His ministry to my soul. My hope is that you’ll be encouraged and reminded that He is everything you need.
