The Acceptable Year of the Lord

The Acceptable Year of the Lord

In this sermon: The Acceptable Year of the Lord, Jesus did not finish the verse of Scripture given to Him to read.  He stopped in the middle of the verse, closed the book, and sat down. Jesus was actually reading Isaiah 61:2, which says in conclusion, “To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn." The reason Jesus closed the book and sat down; the rest of the verse was to be fulfilled  at  a  later  date  in  history.    The  vengeance   of   our   God,   and   to   comfort all that mourn, is still future. There is coming a day, when Jesus will finish the rest of the verse.  The vengeance of God is soon to fall on our wicked world.  Jesus will close the book on this generation.  He will say, “It is enough.”  Gabriel will proclaim, “Time shall be no longer.”  The acceptable year of the Lord will be gone. Millions will still be lost in sin. Every eye shall see Jesus, they will all stare at Him, when He comes again in the clouds of glory.  Every knee shall bow before Him.
