The Proclamation of Hope | Sierra Jarrell

In His hometown of Nazareth, Jesus read the prophecy of Isaiah 61 that begins by saying, “The spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.” Jesus's fulfillment of this prophecy showed that He sees us and is near to the broken. The life of Jesus ushered in a new found hope for those who are written off by society. Jesus deeply cares about those who are often overlooked, and if we are to walk in the way that He did, we should care about them too. Because of His life, we get to live in more freedom, hope, and abundance.
