Proclaiming Freedom Series: Isaiah 61:1-3
Life Is Short!
And I thought of this scripture:
Isaiah 40:6 A voice says, “Call out.” Then he answered, ”What shall I call out?” All flesh is grass, and all of its loveliness is like the flower of the field. 8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of God stands forever.
God loves you and cares for you and Jesus said in
Matthew 6:30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!
Isaiah 61:1-3
“Jesus was a Spirit Filled Man, Sent to Proclaim Good News to the Poor, Heal the Brokenhearted and to Proclaim Freedom to Captives and to Open Prison Doors for Prisoners!”

This is who He was and what He did! This is Who You are and what You do! You Proclaim Freedom and Help People to That Freedom!
Luke 8:34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who is committing sin is a slave of sin. …. 36 So if the so makes you free, you will be free indeed!
