The Final Relief
Luke 4:16-30

Rev. Teer Hardy
Maybe the question isn’t whether we believe Jesus can set captives free.It’s whether we’ll stop acting like we’re still locked up.Because some of us have been sitting inside open cells for years—guilt, fear, resentment, exhaustion—and the door has already been swung wide.
Maybe the gospel invitation today is simply to walk out.
Walk out of the fear that says you are what you produce.Walk out of the guilt that whispers you’re too far gone.Walk out of the anger that keeps you chained to old hurts.Walk out of the tomb with Jesus—into a life that can’t be contained by death or disappointment.
