After Jesus read the portion from Isaiah, that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him, because he was anointed to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised (captive) and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18-19), Jesus said that this scripture was now fulfilled in their ears. His words were “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” implying that in the hearing of Jesus, as the Salvation of mankind is the fulfillment of the scripture (Luke 4:21).
Faith (Salvation) comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). What is this word? Prophet Isaiah tells us that the word of the Lord that was revealed to him in his ears, by the LORD of hosts, is that his iniquity (sins) shall not be purged until he dies (Isaiah 22:14). The word of God is that we must die; die to self and die to sin. In other words, we must be righteous and holy. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin (Romans 4:8) but righteousness. To be righteous, we must be imputed righteousness, which is possible only by believing in Jesus. For when we believe in Jesus Christ, His righteousness is imputed on us (Romans 4:24).
He who has an ear, let him hear, what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.
Point(s) to ponder:
Have you/I heard the word of God? In Christ Jesus alone, is the scripture fulfilled (in our ears).
Luke 4:17-21 (KJV)
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
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,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Isaiah 22:14 (KJV)
14 And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
