实现自由
“主的灵在我身上，因为他用膏膏我，叫我传福音给贫穷的人；差遣我报告：被掳的得释放，瞎眼的得看见，叫那受压制的得自由。”
路加福音4:18
你可能注意到今天的经文和昨天的是一样的。那是因为这节经文在圣经里出现在两个不同的地方。第一次是在以赛亚书61章，先知以赛亚向以色列民宣告弥赛亚的到来。第二次，也就是今天的经文，出自路加福音4章，当时耶稣在第一次讲道时，引用以赛亚书61章。耶稣在犹太会堂的聚会上读了这些经文。他打开经卷，读了关于弥赛亚的章节，然后坐下来，说道：“你们刚才听到的，今天都实现了。”耶稣是在做一个宣告：“我就是弥赛亚，这就是我要做的。” 作为基督徒，我们跟随耶稣，分享福音， 并宣告： 被掳的得释放， 瞎眼的得看见，受压制的得自由。
今日祷告：
耶稣，因你在十字架上的舍身，我才得以自由。谢谢你救赎的福音。阿们。

Freedom
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free.”
LUKE4:18
You may notice that the verse in today’s entry looks exactly like yesterday’s. That is because these words occur in two places in the Bible. The first was taken from Isaiah 61, when Isaiah introduces what the coming Messiah’s ministry will be like. The second—today’s verse—is taken from Luke 4, when Jesus read the very words from Isaiah 61 in his first sermon. Jesus read these words in a synagogue gathering. He opened the scroll, read the messianic passage, sat down, and then said, “What you’ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day.” Jesus was making a statement, thereby proclaiming, “This is who I am and this is what I am going to do.” As Christians, we follow Jesus, whose purpose was to share refreshingly good news and to proclaim unexpected release, renewal of sight, and the dignity of freedom.
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, because of your death on the cross, I am unshackled. Thank you for the good news of your freedom. Amen.
