“Blessed Are You”

Luke 6:17-23 (click to display NIV text)

Pastor Dwight A. Nelson

“Looking at his disciples, he said: ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.’ “

When Jesus announced his ministry in the synagogue at Nazareth, he said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim Good News to the poor…,” and then he ends by saying, “to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Luke goes on to present to us Jesus the teacher of God’s Word, Jesus the prophet mighty in word and deed, and Jesus who is Messiah, Lord and Savior.

Pastor Dwight A. Nelson

“When Jesus saw their faith, he said, ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven.’ The Pharisees and teachers of the Law began thinking to themselves, ‘Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?’ ”

Jesus is the Savior. The angel says to the shepherds, “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you.” Now Luke reveals Jesus who is the Savior. How will Jesus express his role as Savior? It is by forgiving sins and healing and leading people to faith.

First we need to understand Jesus’ ministry of healing. The ancient world had a view of healing that was somewhat different than our modern medical understanding. Read more
