The Aims of Jesus' Mission  LUKE 4:16-21

When Jesus stood up in the synagogue at Nazareth and read ISAIAH 61:1-3,  he was announcing the aims of his mission. These were:

•   To PROCLAIM THE KINGDOM-RULE OF GOD  -   the Good News that God is ultimately in control, not satan   
     
" Your God reigns!" (ISAIAH 52: 7)

•   To DEMONSTRATE the inbreaking of God's kingdom by
         -  HEALING the sick and binding up the broken-hearted
         -  SETTING CAPTIVES FREE from bondages of all sorts

Jesus' Commission To His Disciples: Do What Jesus Did     LUKE 9:1-2; 10:1, 8-9, 17-20
