The Lord Can Heal You

The Weekly Walk

According to Isaiah 61:1, Jesus has His heart set on helping three different groups of people. See them there? The poor, the brokenhearted, the captives. Who are these people? They're us! If you haven't figured out that you're that person yet, then you're not ready to get what it is He has to offer. But if in your heart you're saying, "You're right - I see myself there," then hang on. Christ has something phenomenal to offer you.

He offers good things to humble people.
The first specific people in this passage that need help are the poor. Some translations say afflicted. A good translation from the original Hebrew would be humble. This humility thing isn’t a surprise. In Matthew 5:3 Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit," that is, people who aren't always 100% out for themselves. Are you the kind of person who lives your life for others and don't always think about what's best for you? You say, "Well I'd like to be, but then who is going to take care of me?" God is! This verse tells us that God takes care of the humble who will let Him meet their needs. Christ brings the good news - but you must be humble to hear it.
