Episode Synopsis

In Luke 4, Jesus returns to His hometown of Nazareth and steps into the synagogue to read from the scroll of Isaiah. As He reads a well-known messianic passage from Isaiah 61, the room is filled with anticipation. Then comes a stunning moment—Jesus claims that this Scripture is being fulfilled right in front of them. But what's even more surprising is where He stops reading. He leaves out a key phrase that completely shifts how we understand His mission.
This sermon unpacks why Jesus chose that specific passage, what His reading reveals about who He is, and how His words continue to speak to us today. It's a moment that challenges assumptions, redefines expectations, and calls us to see Jesus for who He truly is—the one who brings good news, freedom, and healing to a broken world.
