Sojourners Verse and Voice – 13 February 2023

Verse of the day
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

– Luke 4:18-19

Voice of the day
Imagining Jesus as apolitical is itself a political decision — and it is a decision that aligns with politically and financially powerful interests.

– Josiah R. Daniels, “What ‘He Gets Us’ Ads Get Wrong About Jesus”

Prayer of the day
We’re grateful for a Savior who wasn’t afraid to flip tables and callout the powers of his day, even at the cost of his life. Remind us of what your son stood for and align our vision with his heart for a more just world.
