| Summary: | There may be no better way to get to the heart of Jesus' mission than to study Jesus' inaugural address in his hometown Nazareth synagogue. There Jesus proclaimed that he was the anointed one of God and introduced a jubilee era that is programmatic in Luke's Gospel for his holistic mission of grace. But for some listeners with high messianic expectations, it was only half the mission of the Messiah; they also awaited the omitted day of vengeance. Jesus' good news to the poor did not meet exclusive expectations, but was inclusive of Gentiles and outcasts. Jesus' jubilee mission was holistic in four aspects: It was proclaimed and enacted, spiritual and physical, for Jew and Gentile, present and eschatological. |
