"Comfort, Yes, Comfort My People" - Part Five

This is the last message in a series showing Jehovah God comforting both Jew and Gentile during life's difficulties. We all needed these messages during this worldwide crisis. Bless His Holy Name!

We saved this week's message for the end because it is the most important. This message will describe the ministry of Jesus Christ when He came to earth as the Son of God. The ministry of Jesus is so important to God that He describes it three times. We have learned when Jehovah God repeats a message we should pay attention.

What is this message? We will share all three versions:

"I, The Lord, have called You in righteousness,

and will hold your hand;

I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people,

as a light to the Gentiles, 

To open blind eyes, 

to bring out prisoners from the prison,

those who sit in darkness from the prison house." Isiah 42:6-7 

"The Spirit of The Lord God is upon Me,

because The Lord has anointed Me

to preach good tidings to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives,

and the opening of the prison to those who are bound." Isiah 61:1

"The Spirit of The Lord is upon Me,

because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, 

to preach deliverance to the captives

and recovery of sight to the blind,

to set at liberty those who are oppressed." Luke 4:18

As mentioned in Matthew this is a partial list of the miracles performed by Jesus when He was present on the earth:

Healed all kinds of sickness - 4:23

Healed a leper - 8:3

Healed Peter's Mother-in-law - 8:15

Cast out demons - 8:32

Returned sight - 9:30

Restored speech - 9:33

Healed Gentile woman's daughter - 15:28

Be comforted, God's people, Jesus is still performing miracles all over the world! Philippians 4:6-7 says, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Every Day,
