Encouragement
So Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His Custom was, He went into the Synagogue on The Sabbath Day, and stood up to read. And He was handed The Book of The Prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: “The Spirit of The LORD is upon Me, because He has Anointed Me to Preach The Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of The LORD.” Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the Synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
Now, Jesus could have chosen any chapter or verse, from The Book of Isaiah, yet He chose this, why? Because with these words, He described precisely, why He was here and that The Words of Isaiah, spoke specifically of Him. He did this among many people, in the Synagogue, people who knew Him. As We, Believers, look at this Today, We wonder if any of them, felt or understood His Significance, to them or Us. According to Luke, this was early in Jesus’ Ministry, He told these people, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” Do YOU wonder, when We share Bible Scriptures, from The New Testament, of Jesus Speaking to future Yet-To-Be-Believers, if the people We are speaking to, sharing with, realize and understand, that these Scriptures, from The New Testament, are being fulfilled Today? Just as The Old Testament, spoke of future events, more specifically, The Coming of The Christ, The Messiah, Jesus. The New Testament speaks of future events, Yet-To-Be-Believers accepting Jesus Christ, as The Messiah, becoming Believers, and they themselves sharing The Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ, with others. Isn’t this fascinating, that Jesus would tell His Disciples, that hundreds, thousands of years from now, My Future Disciples, will still be sharing about Me. Thanks to Your Testimony of Me, which We call The New Testament of The Holy Bible, these future Disciples will lead, Yet-To-Be-Believers to accept Me, as The Christ, The Messiah, and through Me, they may have Everlasting Life. They can join Us, in My Father’s Presence, for Eternity.
