The Spirit of the
Sovereign Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good
news to the poor. He has sent me to bind
up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from
darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor… Isaiah
61-1-2a
Jesus partially fulfilled this prophesy through His
ministry. I say “partially” because
those that follow Him also have a part to play in living out this word. We are called to reach those that don’t know
the Savior. We have been chosen to share our
testimony and the grace-filled gospel to those in darkness.
You and I can proclaim liberty for the captives. We can see lives transformed by the power of Christ’s
death and resurrection. Each of us are
ambassadors for Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:20).
We do not have to be ashamed of the gospel. Ask God today to fill you with His
Spirit. Ask Him today to make you bold
for Him, then step out in His ability.
Reach out to the people in your world that do not know
Jesus. Look for opportunities to
winsomely share your relationship with the Lord to others.
Living like this not only changes others, it transforms us
as well. Being used of the Lord in this
way is both thrilling and rewarding. If
you haven’t already, won’t you join me on this great adventure.
