“So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:16-19).

The results:
1. The Anointing
2. Good News of Salvation for the Poor, Humble and Afflicted
3. Healing for the Brokenhearted
4. Liberty to the Captives
5. Sight to the Blind
6. Liberty for those Oppressed
7. The Year of the Lord’s Favor
