This sermon explores readings from 1 Kings and Luke 4 to explain why signs and wonders were given in Scripture, how Israel's rejection led God to show His works to Gentiles, and how Jesus fulfills Isaiah's promises by bringing salvation, sight, and the sacraments to the church.

It challenges modern believers to treasure the Word and sacraments, recognize Christ as the true Israel, and live out their vocation in the new creation while awaiting the final revelation of God's wondrous salvation.
