The good news is the announcement that He has saved and delivered and freed us!
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has chosen Me to bring good news to the poor. He sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed and announce that the time has come for the Lord to save His people."
Luke 4:18-19 (EASY)
Jesus quoted from Isaiah a prophecy about the Messiah's deliverance and then said that the prophecy had just been fulfilled as He read it! The kingdom had come, the Messiah had come, deliverance had come! Jesus had not even started His earthly ministry yet, but just by being present He brought salvation and deliverance to all humankind. He joined with humanity in the incarnation, taking on flesh, and thus united God and man and brought all His righteousness, healing and life to man, while also dissolving all sin, oppression, and brokenness. We have the Son! And whoever has the Son has life, and has it more abundantly! He is here and that means all is well and whole and safe! We are delivered, we can see, we are freed, we are healed, we are alive, we are saved, in and through Christ Jesus our Lord!
A Thought: Jesus is present, all is well.
