What did Jesus mean when he said-
"God has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners.." (Luke 4:18)
Freedom from what exactly?
My take on this verse starts first with using the correct version of Scripture. This is not going to be accepted very well, but here it goes.
If you read the KJV, it says, "to PREACH deliverance to the captives." The next line says "and recovering of sight to the blind."
Christ is referring to the preaching of the Cross (the Gospel) that open the eyes of the spiritual blinded.
It is the Cross, what there happened that sets at liberty and freedom all the problems man may have.
This is what Christ came to proclaim and do for all of mankind.
