DAILY READINGS: Judges 21; Isaiah 40; 1 Corinthians 16

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. —Luke:4:18-19 [18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, [19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

The One speaking was fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah. He came to deal with the enormous problems that have affected mankind throughout history: sorrow, suffering and sin. His coming was the dawning of a day of grace for the world’s sighing and sobbing multitudes. He presented Himself as the answer to the ills of earth. This He fully accomplished at Calvary. —Drew Craig

Calvary covers it all, my past with its sin and stains;
My guilt and despair, Jesus took on Him there. And Calvary covers it all. —Mrs. W.G. Taylor
