The Fourth Sermon.
Luke 4.18. To Preach Deliverance to the Captives.
HERE is another Expression of the Work that Christ was anointed for. Where mind, 1. The Persons that he is to be Serviceable to. The Word Captive is from Capio, to take. They are such as are taken in War. Aichmalotos is from Aichme, Spear or Sword, and Alotos, taken in War. This sets forth the state of Sinners. They are by the just Judgment of God, delivered into Satan's Hands, & they are his Captives. 2 Tim. 2.26. They are taken Captive by him at his Will. 2. What Service Christ was to do for them. To Preach Deliverance, to Publish or Proclaim it. His Office was not merely to Condole their Captivity, but to Proclaim Deliverance to them. He doth not Proclaim that they are delivered, but he Proclaims an Offer of ⟨p. 108⟩Deliverance. He declares that there is a way of Deliverance, and makes a tender of it upon Terms.
