Healing For The Broken-Hearted
Jesus was quoting Isaiah 61 when He read from this passage:
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to > the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and > recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Luke 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
It is a very important phrase Christ said, that He was "...sent...to heal the brokenhearted." This is way more than a "my boyfriend/girlfriend left me" kind of brokenheartedness. This is a deep, no way out kind of brokenness that no man/woman can fix. Its an illness that is all over this world, but speaking of America, we have the things mentioned in this article, plus the plague of single-parent homes, alcholic/drug addicted parents and siblings, and a host of worldly things that beckon us, calling us to fulfill ourselves. Not only that, but all these things promise quick fixes, and they may quell our appetite for but a moment. However, only the LORD JESUS CHRIST can satisfy, fill us, but more importantly, heal us. He alone, can take what is broken, and make something new out if it, and that includes our hearts.
The question is, will be believe Him?
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
