Haiku of the bold claim
Many were impressed
as Jesus begins to teach
in their synagogues.
Home town Nazareth.
The Sabbath; he stands to read.
Hand him the Prophet.
Reading Isaiah:
all expectation and hope.
I am anointed!
God’s Spirit drives me
with a message of freedom,
good news for the poor.
Release for captives,
sight for the blind, and the year
when God takes action!
He returns the scroll.
Here, today, as you hear them,
these words are fulfilled.
Never holding back,
Luke makes it plain for us all:
Jesus is the one.
