Jesus ushers in a whole new era in the course of world events, as He declares the passage of Scripture from Isaiah is fulfilled in the hearing of those gathered at the synagogue.
He is the One anointed to bring liberty and freedom to those held captive and oppressed.
He has set us, the people of God, free to proclaim Him. We are no longer afraid or sorrowful, for God has spoken His Word to us in the Person of Christ, the Word that is Everlasting Life. And we are now His body, by virtue of being bound together in one spirit through baptism, and are sent forth in our own special way to do His work. We make Christ's presence known, and so that passage from Isaiah is fulfilled today in us.
