Luke 4:16-21  The Message

^16-21 He came to Nazareth where he had been reared. As he always did on the Sabbath, he went to the meeting place. When he stood up to read, he was handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written,

God’s Spirit is on me;
    he’s chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor,
Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and
    recovery of sight to the blind,
To set the burdened and battered free,
    to announce, “This is God’s year to act!”

He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the assistant, and sat down. Every eye in the place was on him, intent. Then he started in, “You’ve just heard Scripture make history. It came true just now in this place.”

For Reflection

God's spirit is within each of us.  God wills each of us to spread the Gospel Message to all, according to the talents with which we have been blessed..  It is our task to bring others out of the darkness of their common lives into the light of a God-centered life.

Pray

that you will study the scriptures, pray, and discuss your faith in the fellowship of the faithful so that you will always be in-tune with a God-centered life.
