RODNEY BROWN - Why Jesus Stopped Reading in Isaiah 61: Understanding the Acceptable Year of the Lord

Loading player...
Join Rodney Brown as he opens Luke 4:18–19 and explores the powerful moment when Jesus read from Isaiah 61 in the synagogue of Nazareth. Why did Jesus stop mid-verse? What is “the acceptable year of the Lord”—and what does it mean for us today?

In this episode, we uncover how Christ’s first coming was not to bring judgment, but to proclaim God’s favor, healing, and salvation. Rodney explains the significance of Jesus’ announcement, the fulfillment of a 700-year-old prophecy, and the ongoing invitation for every listener to experience God’s grace through faith in Christ.

Whether you're studying the Gospel of Luke, exploring Old Testament prophecy, or seeking encouragement about God’s love and purpose, this episode will deepen your understanding of Jesus’ mission and the blessing available to all who trust in Him.
