On the Subbath day He went Into the synagogue according to His custom. He no doubt went that day with a new and definite purpose, but It is refreshing to know that It was according to His habit. 11. Jeaua Reading the Scriptures (vv. 17-19). 1. The Book Handed to Hlin (v. 17). It was not only His custom to attend the place of worship but to take a part In It. This privilege was not confined to the rabbis (Acta 13:15). , 2. The Passage Head (Isaiah 61:1, 2). Most likely this passage was chosen by Him with a specific purpose. 3. The Content of the Passage (vv. 18, 19). (1) The mission of the Messiah (v. 18). It was: (a) To preach the gospel to the poor. The good tidings which Jesus proclaimed are peculiarly welcome to the common people. (b) To heal the broken-hearted. The gospel of Christ peculiarly meets the needs of those whose hearts are crushed by the weight of their own sins or by the burden of sorrow and disappointment. (c) To preach deliverance to the captives. The gospel of Christ does actually set man free from the slavery of sin (John 8:36). (d) Recovering of sight to the blind. Christ did actually make those who were physically blind to see (John 9:6, 7) and also opened the eyes of those who were spiritually blind (I John 5:20). (e) To set at liberty them that are bruised. The power of Christ can free the most utterly hopeless ones. (f) To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. The primary allusion Is the year of Jubilee (Lev. 25:8-10) In which all those in bondage were released. (2) The special endowment of the Messiah (v. 18). The reason why the Spirit was upon Him was that He might fulfill specifically His Messianic work. It was not for the display power. The enduement of the HolySpirit Is not for mere power's sake. 111. Jesus Expounding the Scriptures (vv. 20, 21). 1. He Closed the Book and Sat Down. It seems to have been the custom of the Jewish teachers to sit white teaching. 2. "This Day Is This Scripture Fulfilled." This statement Is no doubt hut a gist of what He said. IV. Jesus' Reception by the People (vv. 22-30). Their reception was characterized by—1. Ignorant Prejudice (v. 22). "Is not this Joseph's son?' As If to say. "This is our fellow townsman with whom we have been acquainted for years. Surely, therefore, He cannot he the Messiah.” 2. Unbelief as to His Supernatural Character (v. 23). They challenged Him to exhibit examples of divine power as He had done in other places. 3. Personal Jealousy (v. 24). Jealousy prevents us from seeing the essential worth of the men In our midst. Foreigners are more appreciative. A prophet is not accepted at home, primarily because he is a prophet. Prophets were sent in times of moral and spiritual declination and their messages were stern rebukes of sin. He adduces two outstanding examples ot the willingness of foreigners to believe God. (1) Elijah was sent to a widow at Sarepta (vv. 25, 20). Many widows of Israel were passed by due, doubtless, to the fact that they would not have received the prophet. (2) Naaman, the foreigner, of ninny lepers was the only one cleansed. 4. Violent Hatred (vv. 28-30). This comparison of the Jews to foreigners to stunned their pride that they madly drove Him out of their city, even tried to kill Him. He showed them that Just as Elijah had brought blessing to one who lived In Sidon and Elisha to qne In Syria, while the people of Israel went on suffering, even so the Gentiles would receive the blessings cf His saving power while they, the chosen nation, would suffer In unbelief. I ' Religion I Religion, In one sense, is n life of se f-denla!; but Ms-d. nUI belong to religion uh characteristic es It, It belongs to human life The lower nature must always be' denied when we are trying to rise to a higher sphere—Henry Ward Beecher. Truths Truths once discovered shine by their own light and give real knowledge about a real world. —W. J. MoulJon, D.D.
