Tom Schreiner on Luke 4:18

"The text proceeds to say that Jesus was sent to free the imprisoned, to grant sight to the blind, to free the oppressed and to herald the grace of God. Such a gracious ministry is due to the work of the Spirit in Jesus' life. It flows from the Spirit's anointing. We should also observe that Jesus described the whole of His ministry here, so that every dimension of His work depended on the anointing power of the Spirit. Every good work detailed in Luke stems from the Spirit Himself. Jesus truly was the bearer of the Spirit, the Man marked out by the Spirit, the Man was uniquely strengthened by the Spirit".

Rob Rufus on Luke 11:28-30 (the older brother)

"Now that is a commentary on the tragedy of the modern Church. There are millions of church goers who know all ABOUT God and are working hard to IMPRESS God but have never let the Father impress them. They are missing party after party and divine encounter after divine encounter and supernatural manifestation after supernatural manifestation because they are working so hard to impress God".
