3rd Sunday after Epiphany


Luke 4:14-21

All of the hopes
All of the dreams
from generation to generation
have come to this
moment in time
In life and in light
as the world of God is spoken
Christ’s ministry in this world
Began
among a people
who saw only the child
who heard only the preconceived ideas
of what was to be
and who was to be
Until
they heard the words of promise
(The Spirit of the Lord
is upon me
to bring good news to the poor)
and they
We
Rejected the one sent
to set free the oppressed
and cringe at the thought
that at last
the time has come
when the Lord will save his people
