Pensamento:
Jesus leu esta passagem numa sinagoga em Nazaré para descrever seu ministério (Lc 4). Ele veio para pregar as boas novas, para curar, trazer libertação, para proclamar graça, e para oferecer conforto. Se Jesus nos mandou ao mundo como o Pai o mandou (Jo 20:21-23), não deveríamos estar fazendo o mesmo?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus read this passage at a synagogue in Nazareth to define his ministry (Luke 4:14-19). He came to preach good news for the poor, to bind up the broken, to announce freedom for those who were captives, to bring deliverance from the powers of darkness to the prisoners of addiction and evil, to proclaim grace because of God's favor, and to offer comfort to those grieving. Jesus also made clear God had a sharp edge to his justice, settling the score with those who were exploiters and abusers of the powerless. Since Jesus has sent us into the world as the Father sent our Savior (John 20:21-23), shouldn't our mission be to do something similar to what our Lord did?
Oração:
Através do poder e sabedoria do Seu Espírito, que deseja operar em mim poderosamente, por favor, abra meus olhos, querido SENHOR, para me ajudar a ver os que o Senhor coloca no meu caminho, para eu compartilhar sua graça, libertação e conforto. Eu peço isto no nome de Jesus. Amém. || Veja a imagem: http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_isaias61_1-2.html
My Prayer...
Through the power and wisdom of your Holy Spirit, who longs to work powerfully in and through us, please open my eyes, dear Lord. Help us see those you put in our paths with whom you want us to share your grace, deliverance, and comfort. Use us to speak up for those who are exploited, mistreated, and abused. In Jesus' name, we ask for your power and strength to bring redemption and hope to the lost around us. Amen.
