Jesus was Holy Spirit-Anointed to Preach Good News (hope for the poor)

• Sent to Proclaim Freedom (hope for prisoners of sin and physical limitation)
• Sent to Release the Oppressed (hope for victims of societal sin)
• Sent to Proclaim God’s Favor (hope for the self-condemned)

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Isaiah 6:1-2)

• Sin is due to Lack of Belief
• Righteousness Comes Thanks to Spirit’s Earthly Work on behalf of the Heavenly Father and Son
• Judgment is Pronounced on the Condemned Criminal, the Prince of This World

When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:  in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. NIV

Some Welcome the Holy Spirit’s Arrival, and Some Don’t
