A Saviour with good news (Luke 4)

But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”

And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’

For our lives to be victorious knowing what is written is essential. The written Word of our Lord.

And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,  Because He has anointed Me  To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,  To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;  To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; but He said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

Today we close with our Lord proclaiming why He came. To be the bearer; or carrier of good news.

Please read and compare the two towns our Lord started preaching in after being tempted and their different responses.

Look how relentless our Lord is. May we just be as relentless for we also are carriers of good news for we belong to our Lord.
