Feb 22 | Luke 4:18-19 | The Mother of Missions Verses

• If you had to identify your personal life mission (the reason why you are here), what key roles or relationships would you be sure to include (e.g., work, parenting, etc.)? Try to put it into your own words.

• Read Luke 4:16-21. What specific groups of people are mentioned in this passage as recipients of good news? How are they described? What does that tell us about them?

• What does the Servant say he has come to accomplish? From where (or whom) does this mission come?

• Read Isaiah 61:1-3. In these verses that Jesus is reading in our passage, what do we learn about the character of God and his purpose in sending the Servant?

• Jesus makes it clear that he sees himself as this Servant. Do you resonate with any of the descriptive terms used? How does the good news that Jesus brings meet you today?

• How might God be sending you this week to share the Servant’s Love with the poor, weak, and needy?
