Isaiah 58β66
βπππ ππππππππ πππππ π²πππ ππ ππππβ
Early in His earthly ministry, Jesus Christ visited a synagogue in Nazareth, the village where He was raised.
There He stood to read from the scriptures, opened the book of Isaiah, and read what we now know as Isaiah 61:1–2.
He then announced, βThis day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.β This was one of the Saviorβs most straightforward declarations that He was the Anointed One, who would βheal the brokenheartedβ and βpreach deliverance to the captivesβ (see Luke 4:16–21).
This scripture was indeed fulfilled on that day. And, like many other prophecies of Isaiah, it continues to be fulfilled in our day.
The Savior continues to heal all the brokenhearted who come unto Him.
There are yet many captives to whom deliverance must be preached. And there is a glorious future to prepare forβa time when the Lord will βcreate new heavens and a new earthβ (Isaiah 65:17) and βcause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nationsβ (Isaiah 61:11).
Reading Isaiah opens our eyes to what the Lord has already done, what He is doing, and what He will yet do for His people.
