Isaiah 61

It took just a couple of minutes to read this passage. As I look at the calendar I want to dive in and finish both the books of Isaiah and Revelation. But that would be missing the lesson of dining on God's word. Gorging myself will reach the goal, but not at a pace that will allow me to digest the word better. I need to dine to allow God to grow my faith into the shape he wants it to be.
As for this passage; we know that it was fulfilled by Jesus in Nazareth. Jesus said as much about verse 1 and the first line of verse 2. But as I read the rest of the chapter I have no doubt that 1-9 speaks of Messiah. Verese 10 and 11 are Isaiah's responce to the vision of Messiah.
