Bible Study Luke 4:18-19

Luke 4:18-19 King James Version (KJV)
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.
Luke 4:18-19 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

18 The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent Me
to proclaim freedom to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set free the oppressed,19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

18 As Christians we should have the Spirit guiding us thru our lives in the will of the Lord. We as Christians are anointed by the blood of Christ and then we receive the Spirit. We as Christians are to share God’s word the good news, Jesus started this, and we are to keep doing this. Jesus came for everyone but often time’s good news is received by those who need to hear good news, those that do not have everything going their own way. Jesus gave a simple statement of why He came; our statement of why we are is to follow the will of the Lord, which the Spirit will show us in our lives.

19 Jesus would kick off the Faith and His followers we would spread and keep it going by His will and power.
 
Excellent scriptures, what is encouraging to read is the Lord's first audience was the poor. This should be our desire also as believers to ensure we are ministering to the poor and needy.
