CHURCH ST. ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. U.S. HIGHWAY 17, N. EDENTON, N.C. Sunday School Lesson JESUS DECLARES HIS MISSION (Luke 4:14-24) After His entrance upon His public ministry, Christ made a preaching tour in Galilee and returned to Nazareth with a longing to make known the way of life to His own townspeo ple all of whom knew Him. He resorted to the synagogue on the Sabbath to join in public worship, as had been His lifelong custom. , , It was the custom in the synagogue that when a distinguished visitor was present the one in charge of the service would invite him to read the scriptures, and then deliver any message he might have for the people. Such an invitation was extended to Christ and, always alert to em brace every opportunity to speak to the people, to preach and to serve, He readily accepted the invitation. In a synagogue service two lessons were read: the one from the Law and the other from the Prophets. When Christ stood to read, the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Turning to the sixty-first chapter of that prophecy, which begins with the statement, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me," He read the verses which declared Gad's purpose to send the Messiah to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who were bruised, and to preach the accep table year of the Lord. What a mission i Perhaps the most significant thing about our Lord's reading of this portion of Isaiah was where He stopped - in the middle of a sentence, with only a comma separating it from the next words. Had He read more Christ could not have given the explanation which He did. When Christ finished reading, He gave the scroll back to the attendant who had handed it to Him, and sat down, which was a sure sign that He was about to speak. This was in keeping with the Jewish custom they stood when they read and sat when they taught. The attention of all who were present was concentrated on Jesus. They wondered how He would interpret what He had read. Christ made the explicit and startling declaration that Isaiah's prophecy was fulfilled in Him. When they began to think about the claims that Christ had made for Himself, they became very angry at what He had said. They were highly prejudiced against the truth which He had declared, so they im mediately began to quibble about the messenger. They refused to believe what Christ had said because they regarded Him only as the son of a local carpenter, whose name was Joseph. Those who rejected Christ and His message had been blinded by insufficient information and hardness of heart. Bitterly resentful of what Christ had claimed with reference to Himself, they resolved that they would put Him to death. They refused to believe that truth which He taught, and therefore rejected both the Messiah and His message. They cast Him out of Nazareth and intended to throw Him over a precipice nearby. But God's purposes could not be thwarted, so Christ miraculously passed through their midst, went His way, and was not harmed by these prejudiced townspeople. They demanded a miracle, so one was performed by their being prevented from laying their hands upon Him, for He disappeared at the very time : they wanted to kill Him. How tragic though when Christ -turns from an individual or a people because He takes with mm niui mwrninif ucea, which is aaivauon zrom Sin through and by Him.
