Luke Chapter 4 Verse 19

Interpretation of Luke Chapter 4 Verse 19

In Luke 4:19, Jesus is quoting from Isaiah 61:1-2, which states that God has sent him to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. This is a time of Jubilee, a time of freedom and liberation for those who are oppressed and downtrodden. Jesus is proclaiming the good news of the coming of God’s kingdom, one of justice, mercy, and peace. He is announcing that the year of the Lord is here and that it is an acceptable year of salvation, when God’s people can be restored and set free from the bondage of sin and evil. The acceptable year of the Lord is a time of redemption and renewal, a time of joy and hope for all.
