At Nazareth, Jesus publicly declared His mission. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Luke 4:18-19 (ESV). His mission is our mission. His task is our task. We must not stop. We must not turn to the right or the left until it is complete. Re-read it. This is your life’s mission. Pick it up and run with it.
