Isaiah 61:1 “He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted…”

It tells us in Luke 4:18-19 that Jesus read this passage from Isaiah that Sabbath in Nazareth as the people had gathered in the Synagogue. Little did they know this was the beginning of Jesus’ Ministry, and that the passage was in fact speaking about Him. Many places in the Psalms we read about the Lord being near to the brokenhearted and able to mend shattered hearts. Charles Spurgeon put it this way, “There are many sorts of broken hearts, and Christ is good at healing them all.” And this is so true…whether it’s a broken heart from the loss of a loved one….a failed marriage…or the personal loss of independence because of disease…Jesus can bandage up every heart and make it whole again.
