The Rejected Healer - Part 3
The Rejected Healer Luke 4:14-30 (Part 3) Main Point: Jesus, the Healer of our soul and body, was rejected by the people - the One whom they needed desperately. We must embrace Him and operate as He did! 1. Jesus operated in the power of the Holy Spirit and so can we! (verse 14) Every Christ follower can be filled with - anointed with, and operate in the power of the Holy Spirit! 2. Jesus, the Messiah, was anointed to be the Healer of our soul and body. (verses 18-21) Isaiah 61:1-2 Jesus chose this passage purposely - because He was fulfilling it! What are the elements? a. Preach good news to the poor - verse 18c (those literally and spiritually poor) b. Proclaim freedom for the prisoners - verse 18d c. Recovery of sight for the blind - verse 18e d. Release the oppressed - verse 18f e. Proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor - verse 19 II Corinthians 6:2
