In this week’s Scripture text, Jesus quotes the Old Testament prophet Isaiah. In Luke chapter 4 verse 18, Christ
essentially unpacks His mission statement as our Savior. He states that He has come to free people who are
beggars, brokenhearted, bound, and blind. This is good news for every single one of us because (either literally or
figuratively) we all fall into each of these categories. The entire human race is captive to sin, but Jesus has come to
set us free!
