If the Gospel you arepreaching is not good news for the poor, you are NOT preaching theGospel! The Gospel is not only about the salvation of the soul, butit is liberation for the oppressed!Today's Gospel Reading(3rd Epiphany)14 And Jesus returned inthe power of the Spirit into Galilee, and His fame went out throughall the region round about. 15 And He taught in their synagogues,being glorified by all.16 And He came to Nazarethwhere He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into thesynagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read. 17 And there wasdelivered unto Him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He hadopened the book, He found the place where it was written:
18"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,20 And He closed the book,and He gave it again to the minister and sat down. And the eyes ofall those who were in the synagogue were fastened on Him. 21 And Hebegan to say unto them,
because He hath anointedMe to preach the Gospel to the poor.
He hath sent Me to heal thebrokenhearted,
to preach deliverance to the captives, andrecovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty them that arebruised,
19 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
"Thisday is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears."
-Luke 4:14-21
