The Good News of a Just and Compassionate Messiah
We are beginning a 5-week examination of God's demand for His people to be about justice and compassion, just as He is. We begin with the words Jesus used to announce the character of His public ministry: words that contain the heart of God, the example of Jesus, and a call to all of His disciples.

Reflection Questions
How would you answer the question: "What did Jesus come to do?"
Why should we take this passage in Luke 4 as especially important for understanding Jesus's overall mission?
What all did Jesus say that He came to do in Luke 4:18-19?
What is the relationship between physical needs and spiritual needs in Jesus's words here? What is the relationship between them in general for Jesus?
How did Jesus actually put these words into practice over the course of His ministry?
How is this passage a reminder of what Jesus first did for us spiritually? How might that motivate us to become people of justice and compassion toward our neighbors?
