In His Nazareth sermon, Jesus quoted Isaiah 61:1 (RSV):

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.

  1. What Old Testament figure more than any other might have shaped expectations for this kind of liberator? Record your answer in your workbook and some rationale for why you picked this figure.

While you may have selected a number of figures, Moses has been viewed as the most influential Old Testament liberation figure and the Exodus as the most significant moment of liberation. But Jesus, a new and more powerful liberator, has come onto the scene in Luke and is about to “set his people free” in much more profound ways!
