Acts of Mercy, Advocacy and Proclaiming the Gospel Luke 4:16-30 In his first recorded sermon Jesus quotes Isaiah 61 and declares that in that moment the prophecy is fulfilled in himself. Jesus is the Christ! And the Christ has a mission which is also defined by Isaiah 61; to do acts of mercy (sight to the blind), to advocate for justice (proclaim liberty), and to preach good news. This become programmatic for the body of Christ as well.
