“Jesus stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it is written: “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”  … The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on Him. He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”  Luke 4:16-21 (NIV)

“For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16 (NIV)

Dear Loving Lord, 

Many are looking to solve the world’s injustices by seeking new, more modern solutions to an age old problem — the human heart. 

Lord, You have addressed this deadly fault in us by sending Your Son Jesus; he is the Answer the world desperately needs and knows not! Jesus, You are Tidings of Great Joy, the healing for the nations! You are the Healing Balm, a Person, the Son of God, Who saves to the uttermost! 

Father, waken Your people to cease searching for another answer and share the One You sent! Lives are hanging in the Balance! 

In Jesus Name Forever
