Isaiah 61

We recall that Jesus made the connection of Isaiah 61:1-2 to his ministry (Luke 4:18-19). I wonder if the people of Nazareth understood the connection to verses 3 and 4 in Isaiah 61 as well. Hasn't Jesus given joy to those who mourn? Doesn't he fill the hearts broken with grief with songs of joy? Don't his people praise him because his actions are always right? Jesus fulfilled more that just the beginning of Isaiah 61 he fulfilled more.
