TODAY!
Today we hear Jesus’ first sermon: “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
Today, Jesus brings good news to the poor: today Jesus proclaims release for the captives; today Jesus promises that the blind will see and oppressed peoples will go free.
Today. Not yesterday, not sometime in the future, but today.
Jesus’ love and grace are with us today, despite all the chaos and suffering of our present time. As we hear this message, we will come to understand that we are now the people to bring good news to the poor, proclaim release for the captives, sight for the blind and freedom for the oppressed.
This scripture has been fulfilled in our hearing. Today!
