Isaiah 61:1-11
‘The
Spirit of the Lord God is upon me... to proclaim the year of the Lord’s
favour’ (Isaiah 61:1-2). We thank You, Lord, that Jesus has fulfilled these words (Luke 4:18-21). Jesus has
come, ‘proclaiming the Good News of God.’ He tells us that ‘the time
has come.’ This is the time of opportunity, the time for making our
response to Jesus Christ. He calls for our response - ‘Repent and
believe the Good News!’ Help us, Lord, to make our response now -
‘now is the acceptable time... now is the day of salvation’ (Mark
1:14-15; 2 Corinthians 6:2). There will come a time when the time of
opportunity comes to an end. When Christ returns ‘with power and great
glory’, it will be ‘the Day of vengeance of our God’. We do not know
when Christ will return. He calls us to get ‘ready’ for His Return. Help us to put our ‘faith’ in
Him (Isaiah 61:2; Matthew 24:30,36,44; 25:13; Luke 18:8).
