I. The Sacrifice of Jesus!

Isaiah 53 – The Suffering Servant!

1 Peter 2:21-24 – Called to the Same Purpose!

2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him!

II. Our Privilege and Power to Give Witness to This Incredible Work!

The Inaugural Message of Jesus! Quoting Isaiah 61

Luke 4:18 ‘THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED 19 TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD

What We Do: By the Same “Holy Spirit” Power Granted Him!
