Isaias (Isaiah) 61
61
1THE spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me. He hath sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the contrite of heart, and to preach a release to the captives and deliverance to them that are shut up:
2To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God: to comfort all that mourn:
3To appoint to the mourners of Sion: and to give them a crown for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise for the spirit of grief. And they shall be called in it the mighty ones of justice, the planting of the Lord to glorify him.
4And they shall build the places that have been waste from of old, and shall raise up ancient ruins, and shall repair the desolate cities that were destroyed for generation and generation.
5And strangers shall stand and shall feed your flocks: and the sons of strangers shall be your husbandmen and the dressers of your vines.
6But you shall be called the priests of the Lord: to you it shall be said: Ye ministers of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles and you shall pride yourselves in their glory.
7For your double confusion and shame, they shall praise their part: therefore shall they receive double in their land. Everlasting joy shall be unto them.
8For I am the Lord that love judgment and hate robbery in a holocaust: and I will make their work in truth; and I will make a perpetual covenant with them.
9And they shall know their seed among the Gentiles and their offspring in the midst of peoples. All that shall see them shall know them, that these are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.
10I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and my soul shall be joyful in my God. For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation and with the robe of justice he hath covered me: as a bridegroom decked with a crown and as a bride adorned with her jewels.
11For as the earth bringeth forth her bud and as the garden causeth her seed to shoot forth: so shall the Lord God make justice to spring forth and praise before all the nations.

The Good News of Deliverance

Mt 11.5; Lk 7.22 #
Lk 4.18–19
The Sovereign LORD has filled me with his Spirit.
He has chosen me and sent me
To bring good news to the poor,
To heal the broken-hearted,
To announce release to captives
And freedom to those in prison.
2 #
Mt 5.4
He has sent me to proclaim
That the time has come
When the LORD will save his people
And defeat their enemies.
He has sent me to comfort all who mourn,
3To give to those who mourn in Zion
Joy and gladness instead of grief,
A song of praise instead of sorrow.
They will be like trees
That the LORD himself has planted.
They will all do what is right,
And God will be praised for what he has done.
4They will rebuild cities that have long been in ruins.
5My people, foreigners will serve you.
They will take care of your flocks
And farm your land and tend your vineyards.
6And you will be known as the priests of the LORD,
The servants of our God.
You will enjoy the wealth of the nations
And be proud that it is yours.
7Your shame and disgrace are ended.
You will live in your own land,
And your wealth will be doubled;
Your joy will last for ever.
8The LORD says,
“I love justice and I hate oppression and crime.
I will faithfully reward my people
And make an eternal covenant with them.
9They will be famous among the nations;
Everyone who sees them will know
That they are a people whom I have blessed.”

Rev 21.2
Jerusalem rejoices because of what the LORD has done.
She is like a bride dressed for her wedding.
God has clothed her with salvation and victory.
11As surely as seeds sprout and grow,
The Sovereign LORD will save his people,
And all the nations will praise him.
