61:1 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,
61:2 to proclaim the year of the Lords favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
61:3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
61:4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
61:5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
61:6 And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.
61:7 Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.
61:8 For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing. In my faithfulness I will reward my people and make an everlasting covenant with them.
61:9 Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed.
61:10 I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
61:11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.
Summary; Jesus is the source of the grace of Our Heavenly Father. All that are in him is given through the word of Our Heavenly Father. Jesus came by the timing of Our Heavenly Father. He will eventually come again. Blessings can come to God’s people if they are faithful to Him. In the first three verses, Isaiah spoke of his mission to lift and bless the house of Israel. However, the mission more fully applies to the Savior, and Isaiah simply represented Him to the people.
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father we thank you for your word. Thank you for being our source rest and stregnth. Thank you for the anointment to help spread the good news, and for healing our broken hearts. We pray that all who read this lesson learn from it.
