One of the hardest aspects of Christian discipleship is navigating that line between being in the world but not of it. Jesus says we are both salt and light. That means we're sent into the world (the city) that we might stand out from it, neither losing our saltiness nor concealing our light.
As we continue studying Jesus’ first sermon in Luke 4, we come across his claims to have been sent to proclaim liberty – to the captives and the oppressed. That same good news of freedom ought to ring to the least of these who are mostly overlooked.
In our passage Jesus claims to have come to preach good news to the poor. In other words, his gospel is a gospel for the poor. That creates some healthy tension for a church full of believers who are anything but poor on an economic scale.
We as Christians have great liberty in Christ. Out of love for the lost, may we be willing to sacrifice some of our liberty so that others can gain true liberty.
