Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. 15 He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. 16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” (Luke 4:14-20 NLT)
Politicians running for offices can make promises they never intend to keep. God doesn't run for office. His power is not limited. When God makes a promise He keeps it. Jesus is the fulfillment of many of God's promises. He told the people in Nazareth that He is the fulfillment of God's promise in Isaiah.
Jesus is with us. His Spirit lives in us and gives us the Good News of God's love and forgiveness. Jesus sets us free from the power of sin and the fear of judgment. The Spirit gives us the ability to see and believe in Jesus. We can trust the Lord to keep His promises.
