Here is today's communion meditation.
In Luke 4:17-19 Jesus reads from Isaiah 61...the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written: The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
These verses tell us what Jesus came to do...He wants to set us free and bring us out of darkness into the light.
Today's communion is a time to meditate on these scriptures and to thank God for all he has done for us in Christ. In my own experience there is a progression to this passage of scripture. First, we must experience him setting us free. But then we must proclaim this to other people. If we are in Christ, then the same Spirit and anointing that was on Jesus is on us as well to bring good news and proclaim freedom to others.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
