They gave Him the scroll of Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:

“The spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me to tell the poor the good news. He has sent me to announce release to the prisoners and sight to the blind, and to set the wounded victims free, to announce God’s special favor.”

Luke 4:17-19

This is Jesus’ opening remarks to His ministry. This is Jesus’ agenda. This is what Jesus planned to do with the power that God gave Him.

When Jesus began to flesh out this manifesto, that is when the attacks began. Nobody has a problem with power if it is used to serve their agenda. But if it is used for another’s agenda, power becomes a threat. Jesus’ agenda was to serve the weak. Those who use the weak to support their power, hate this agenda.
