5 minutes Posted Jan 9, 2022 at 4:53 am.
-21 is the opening scene in the ministry of Jesus. It is Jesus’ manifesto for the work ahead. Jesus was filled with the power of the Holy Spirit as he returned to His native town of Nazareth. Jesus chooses to read from Isaiah 61:1-2 that refers to the Spirit of God, the same Spirit who brought him to Nazareth. After he reads all this, Jesus goes and sits down. Then he has a mic drop moment where he says, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

Thursday after Epiphany Holy Communion Service Reflection
Luke
What would be some of the thoughts going through your mind at this point, if you were sitting beside Jesus and he said that? The issue is of Faith. Looking at the chances that this carpenter’s son, who was born in Nazareth, during their life time, and was the Messiah, might have seemed too unlikely. However, as we reflect on our vocation being “called to proclaim” the gospel, think about your own life. Having faith in Jesus is one of the core beliefs we all share. Do you find yourself shying away from opportunities to proclaim or share because of your own insecurities? Today, dig deep in your heart and try to find the things that can help strengthen your core beliefs so that you feel more sure of the gospel and more at liberty to share it with others.
