This Scripture Is Fulfilled In Your Hearing

So He (Jesus Christ) came to Nazareth, where He (Jesus Christ) had been brought up.  And as His (Jesus Christ’s) Custom was, He (Jesus Christ) went into the Synagogue on The Sabbath Day, and stood up to read.  And He (Jesus Christ) was handed The Book of The Prophet Isaiah.  And when He (Jesus Christ) had opened The Book (The Book of The Prophet Isaiah), He (Jesus Christ) found the place where it was written:

“The Spirit of The LORD (God Almighty) is upon Me (Jesus Christ), because He (God Almighty) has Anointed Me (Jesus Christ) to Preach The Gospel (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) to the poor; He (God Almighty) has sent Me (Jesus Christ) to heal the brokenhearted, to Proclaim Liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to Set at Liberty, those who are oppressed; to Proclaim The Acceptable Year of The LORD (God Almighty).”

Then He (Jesus Christ) closed The Book (The Book of The Prophet Isaiah), and gave it back to the attendant and sat down.  And the eyes of All, who were in the Synagogue, were fixed on Him (Jesus Christ).  And He (Jesus Christ) began to say to them, “Today, This Scripture is Fulfilled in your hearing.”

The Good News Of Salvation (Isaiah 61:1-2)

“The Spirit of The LORD GOD (God Almighty) is upon Me, because The LORD (God Almighty) has Anointed Me to Preach Good Tidings to the poor; He (God Almighty) has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to Proclaim Liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison, to those who are bound; to Proclaim The Acceptable Year of The LORD (God Almighty).”

This was at the beginning of Jesus Christ’s Ministry; notice how He (Jesus Christ) clearly states His (Jesus Christ) True Purpose, to Preach The Gospel of Salvation to All!  So, what was meant by “Proclaim The Acceptable Year of The LORD (God Almighty)”?  Well, it meant, God Almighty had decided, NOW is The Time, for Jesus Christ to Present Himself to The World, Officially!  Jesus Christ would quickly pull together, His Disciples, His Fishers of Men.

When We (Believers) Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, We (Believers) can truthfully say, Jesus Christ, The One and ONLY Son of God Almighty, Lived, Died, and was Risen (by God Almighty) to Life, for Our Salvation.  He (Jesus Christ) literally died upon The Cross, as payment for All of Our sins, yes, Once for All.  We (Believers) can truthfully say, that every single word in The Holy Bible, God’s Word (God Breathed AND God Inspired), is absolutely The (God-Given) Truth, which means Jesus Christ’s Crucifixion and Jesus Christ’s Resurrection, is The Truth!  And Forty Days after Jesus Christ’s Resurrection, He (Jesus Christ) Ascended (Jesus Christ’s Ascension) into Heaven, Alive, and sat down at The Right Hand of God Almighty, where He (Jesus Christ) resides Today, again, The Truth!

To Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, is to Preach The Gospel of Salvation.  But, what does this mean?  Well, it means Salvation is offered to All, that’s right, EVERYONE.  The key word is “OFFERED”, Salvation is a Free Gift, which MUST be accepted.  A person MUST acknowledge God’s Amazing Saving Grace AND accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, in order to receive Salvation.  But, what does “receive Salvation” mean?  It means, Admitting We are sinners and We deserve to pay the Penalty (Eternal Death) for Our sins.  It means, Admitting We will NEVER be Worthy (nothing We can possibly do, can earn Our way) enough, to be in God’s Immediate Presence, on Our own.  It means, Repenting i.e. Confessing Our past sins, asking God Almighty for Forgiveness of those sins, and then turning away from sin and back towards God Almighty.  And it means, asking Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to come into Our hearts and Take Control of Our lives (i.e. to Abide within Us, through The Holy Spirit). 

Now, by accepting Jesus Christ, as Our Lord and Savior, We (Believers) become Disciples of Jesus Christ, Fishers of Men, and Children of God Almighty.  So, We (Believers) offer people, God’s Free Gift of Salvation, they are FREE to accept it OR deny it, it’s their choice.  So, what is The Choice?

ACCEPT God’s Free Gift of Salvation, and Live in God’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, God’s Holy Angels, and All the rest of The Children of God Almighty, Forever, for Eternity.

DENY God’s Free Gift of Salvation, and remain SEPARATED from God’s Immediate Presence, Forever, for Eternity.

Always remember, it is Their CHOICE.

NOW is The Time, to Present Jesus Christ to The World!  Amen.
