Monday, March 29

[Jehovah] sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives . . . , to send the crushed ones away free.—Luke 4:18.

 

Jesus opened the way to liberty from the oppressive doctrines taught by the religious leaders. Many Jews back then were enslaved to traditions and mistaken beliefs. (Matt. 5:31-37; 15:1-11) Those who presumed to be spiritual guides were in a sense blind. In rejecting the Messiah and the spiritual enlightenment he offered, they remained in darkness and in sin. (John 9:1, 14-16, 35-41) By his correct teachings and good example, Jesus made known to meek ones a spiritual liberation. (Mark 1:22; 2:23–3:5) Also, Jesus provided liberation by freeing mankind from enslavement to inherited sin. On the basis of Jesus’ sacrifice, God could forgive the sins of those who show faith and who accept the ransom He provided.—Heb. 10:12-18. w19.12 10 ¶8; 11 ¶10-11

 

 

Memorial Bible reading: (Daytime events: Nisan 15) Matthew 27:62-66

Many listening to Jesus were expecting a worldly leader to save them , as today we don't expect things in a worldly sense to work out . Our faith is not in worldly governments or ever getting secure jobs or good situations .

 

On the basis of Jesus sacrifice our hope is in him and the 'real life' that it will bring ........ roll on gods kingdom !

Real freedom is provided to us by God Jehovah. He sets us free first spiritually to give us faith then physically to give us joy.

What a privilege this is, to work closely with Jehovah & Jesus to liberate mankind from spiritual captivity (long-held unscriptural beliefs) and helping them to improve their lives. As we share with them the grand liberation awaiting mankind in the future.

Jesus proclaimed liberty to the captives by freeing mankind from enslavement of sin. Jesus sends the crushed ones away free by providing spiritual enlightenment because we are enslaved by traditions and mistaken beliefs.
