The Acceptable Year of the Lord

When Jesus was handed the book of Isaiah in the synagogue, He read one vital passage about Himself. ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor … to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.’ Luke 4:18-19. Jesus came to set all men free from the bondage of sin and death. More than this, He came to preach the gospel of sonship. The promise of becoming sons of God is central to the Christian faith. Walking in the glorious liberty of sonship is the substance of the acceptable year of the Lord.
