A Psychologist looks at Scripture
Luke 1:1-21 Jesus describes for us his mission statement
During Sabbath services, it was customary for males to read from Scripture or the Torah. Jesus reads from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah, which is significant because Isaiah made many prophecies about the Messiah. The Gospel of Matthew speaks about how these prophecies are fulfilled. This reading serves as a blueprint for Jesus’ ministry. Even though Jesus is reading from the prophet Isisia The reading seems to be in Jesus own words. In fact, it appears that Jesus is reading his own mission statement.
