As Was His Custom

Read Luke 4:16-19

And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and, as His custom was, He went into the Synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 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, "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, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."

Jesus went back home. To people He knew!

He went into the synagogue, "As His custom was."

Our custom should be to "Go into God's house." People should be able to expect us to be there! We can not "SEND" anyone to Church! We must set the example!

And He read what He had written 800 years earlier. He was bringing HIMSELF to them! And we should bring HIM, not our Church, not our pet projects, not our problems, but JESUS to people.

He came to:

• Preach the Gospel to the poor!
• Heal the brokenhearted!
• Preach deliverance to the captives!
• Bring sight to the blind!
• Set the bruised at liberty!
• Preach the acceptable year of the Lord!

V. 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.

And He CLOSED THE BOOK!

We must do the things of the Lord BEFORE THE BOOK IS CLOSED!

For He says, in Revelations:

• Let the unjust be unjust still!
• Let the filthy be filthy still!
• Let the righteous be righteous still!
• Let the holy be holy still!
•  

"And time shall be no more!" "Behold, I come quickly!"

The book will be closed, it will be too late!
