Pastor Derek reveals the origins of the Gospel in the Year of Jubilee, which took place on the Day of Atonement, when the Jubilee trumpeters proclaimed forgiveness, release and restoration for all, throughout all the land, on the basis of the great sacrifice made on that day (Leviticus 25). Jesus initiated the preaching of the Gospel, and commanded us to continue preaching this same Gospel. In Luke 4, Jesus claimed that His preaching of the Gospel was the fulfilment of Isaiah 61, a prophecy of the Messiah fulfilling the Type of Jubilee for all men by preaching Good News to the poor, proclaiming the Acceptable Year of the Lord, on the basis of God's acceptance of His great final Sacrifice (Isaiah 53).

We never want to take away from what God is able to do. We never want to discourage believers from seeking God's intervention in our lives. But when we visit passages for other callings, we have to be careful. We must discern those things which speak of God's abilities and God's attributes. But that is quit a different matter than claiming things for ourselves that are neither directly given to us nor are they for our calling and age.We have previously looked at passages in the the Psalms and in the Prophets, today we turn to Isaiah 61. #theology #christan #biblestudyLiving in the ParenthesisThe Age of the Silence of GodWalking According to Our Calling in the Current Age
“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.” (Isaiah 61:1–2 NLT) The person speaking these words in Isaiah 61 is Jesus—seven hundred years before He was born. This is a prophecy about the Messiah. The speaker says, “The Lord has anointed me” (NLT). The word Messiah means “anointed one.” Seven hundred years later, an audience at a synagogue in Nazareth was treated to an encore reading of these words by the original artist. The audience members just didn’t realize it at the time. Luke tells us that after Jesus was baptized and tempted by the devil, He returned to Nazareth, the town where He grew up. As was His custom, He went to the synagogue to read Scripture and teach. The passage He read was Isaiah 61:1–2. And then look what happened next: “He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. All eyes in the synagogue looked at him intently. Then he began to speak to them. ‘The Scripture you’ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day!’” (Luke 4:20–21 NLT). Translation: I am the Messiah! The synagogue crowd didn’t need a translator to figure out what He was saying. As far as they were concerned, anyone who claimed to be the Messiah was guilty of blasphemy. They rushed Him as a mob and pushed Him out of the synagogue and toward the edge of the hill on which the city was built. They intended to kill Him, or at least harm Him. But that wasn’t God’s plan, so Jesus slipped away and continued His ministry—the work of the Messiah. Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 61 throughout His ministry. When John the Baptist sent his disciples to ask if Jesus was the Messiah, “Jesus told them, ‘Go back to John and tell him what you have heard and seen—the blind see, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor’” (Matthew 11:4–5 NLT). Jesus identified closely with people in need. And He wants us to do the same. That’s the message of Matthew 25:34–40: “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’” (NLT). If you only hang around with people who look like you and people you like, so what? That is no big accomplishment. Jesus said in Matthew 5, “If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that” (verses 46–47 NLT). It is when you love the unlovable that your love stands out.

In Luke 4 Jesus reveals his identity in his hometown of Nazareth in fulfillment of Isaiah 61. No one is surprised by his claim, even with the familiarity of knowing him as Jospeh's son. But everything changes when Jesus recalls the history of Elijah and Elisha. Won't you just let Jesus love you?

After being tempted in the wilderness, Jesus returns to Nazareth to proclaim the gospel in His hometown. At first the people marvel at Him and anticipate what He will do as His fame has grown. But Jesus, after reading Isaiah in the synagogue and teaching about His identity as Lord, is rejected. Not only are we today to follow Jesus and know the gospel, but live it out even when it's difficult.

This Sunday we heard from Youth Ministry Resident Matt Reed on Isaiah 61. Matt encouraged us that the Messiah's mission is to bring good news to the poor! Christ reverses sin's results, and Christ reverses our role. Matt told us that those who God sets free, he puts to work! God receives the recognition, as the Messiah gives us a permanent, eternal covenant rooted in God's character.

Not much is known about the prophet Malachi, (whose name means “my messenger”), but contextual clues suggest that this was written after the exile had ended. Enthusiasm for right worship of God had waned, and Malachi exhorts the priests to honor the Lord. Uniquely, Malachi presents his prophesy using a conversational pattern between the priests and the Lord God, wherein God makes a claim, the priests respond by asking questions, and subsequently the Lord answers. This book is a mixture of indictment and hope, pointing those who are indifferent to God's ordinances to worship rightly while encouraging the faithful to stay the course and receive the Lord's favor.Malachi 1 - 1:12 .

This week, we read the beautiful and inspiring language of Isaiah 61 – a chapter that made us think about the work and the power of restoring human dignity. We saw in this chapter a call to care for both emotional and physical needs – to attend to people in their wholeness. We were reminded that once people remember their own beauty and dignity, they just might not need someone else to rebuild their community for them; they may be ready and able to do it for themselves. And in this moment where many of us may be feeling powerless in the face of systems gone awry, we couldn't miss the message about the power of the word, the prophet, the preacher, in setting things right.
