After fasting for forty days in the desert and later on being tempted in vain by the devil, Jesus returned to his native place Nazareth where He had grown up. On the Sabbath day He went to the synagogue according to the custom. He stood up to read, unrolled the scroll and found the passage on Chapter 61 written by Prophet Isaiah. It was related to the prophecy of the coming Messiah. “He has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, and to let the oppressed go free.”  At that time Jesus had not started to proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God. Yet He said; “Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.” (Luke 4:21)

On one hand, He assured the people that He was the Messiah. On the other, He was telling them that He would administer His Gospel mission according to the Will of His Father depicted through words from the prophets.

God bestows on each one of us different grace and blessings for the purpose to give witness to His Great Love and Mercy. The realization of these grace do require our patience and endurance, making it happened through steps by steps. Do we have the faith to believe in God? Do we have the courage to utter out “Today God’s plan onto me is fulfilled.”?

With targets and determination, it is not far away to achieve the goal to sanctify ourselves as well as others!
