to the darkness that has overshadowed our nation and the Church and that is Jesus Christ. Jesus' Gospel is one that comes to address the needs of those enslaved by popular opinion, bound by the shackles of peer dependency, and blinded by the dazzling attractions of false hopes. (Coming Messiah: Correction and Comfort in Paul's Eschatology in 1st and 2nd Corinthians, Mark Ledbetter).
Jesus stood in a Synagogue in Nazareth and announced:
| Quote: | | "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor, He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord." (Luke 4:18-19) |
To all who tired in the laborious, constant quest for self-fulfillment Jesus offers:
| Quote: |
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light - Matthew 11:28-30. |
