Luke 4:18-29
Jesus kicks off his ministry and tells his home town crowd what he is about...it's Jesus manifesto or statement of intent. He is saying what he is going to do.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
So we wrote a song about it because we are called to be part of this.
Liberty is a big deal. Checkout Deut 6:20. It makes sense of the whole bible.
20When your children ask you in time to come, “What is the meaning of the decrees and the statutes and the ordinances that the Lord our God has commanded you?” 21then you shall say to your children, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt, but theLord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
God is about freedom so get on board.
lyrics
The Spirit of the Lord is on me
because he has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor
Freedom for the captives
sight for all who long to see Liberty
Liberty -be set free!
Liberty
Liberty
For all those who long to be free
will be free
Liberty
