Reader’s Guide: “The Word for Today” Friday, April 5, 2013 Read – Isaiah 35 Remember how Luke introduced the ministry of Jesus in Luke 4:16-21? Likely Luke was well aware of the words in Isaiah 35 which long for such a coming of the Messiah who will open the eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf and make the lame to walk. Luke tells us that Jesus came to set those who are bound free. Jesus fulfills the vision of Isaiah 35. As Easter people we rejoice in the freedom that God brings us thought Jesus and we work toward the freedom of all people. The ministry of Jesus continues – it continues through us, his church.
