For lack of a better term, Luke 4:18–19 essentially serves as Jesus’s mission statement during his time on earth. There, Jesus stands to read in the synagogue, and, taking Isaiah 61 as his text, we’re given a definitive picture of just what the Son of man had come to do: speak good news to the poor, set free the captives, give sight to the blind, and provide rest to the oppressed. Throughout his earthly ministry, Christ was constantly verifying these claims, establishing and evidencing the gospel of the glory of God at every turn.
