Luke 4:16-19
16 And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. 17 And the [a]book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the [b]book and found the place where it was written,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind,To set free those who are oppressed, 19 To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
There are two quick things I love about this passage that we can easily apply to our daily lives.
- When handed the book of Isaiah, Jesus knew where to find a particular scripture.
Reading the Word regularly allows us to be so familiar with the Bible, that we can find and reference scripture to declare, encourage, and state Biblical truths
2. Jesus read scripture that declared who he was.
We can do the same thing by placing our name in place of scripture that has the word “You” or “Me.” This is perfect during prayer and also putting other people’s names in scripture who you are praying for
Know the Word and use the Word daily.
That was awesome and spoke right to me! The Lord has been dealing with me to start reading the scriptures more and get them in me. Thank you!
