The strenght that comes from it and that allows him to face dejection is the same strenght that we can convey to the weak. Also the ability to give sight to the blinds. Spreading the vision of the Truth opening eyes and helping people along the path. By: Alessandra Parrini - September 26, 2006 - Public Category: Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

What part of Jesus` "mission statement" (reading from Isaiah) has the most appeal to you?
What appeals to me the most is the part that says 'recovering of sight to the blind' because that means God will let us get back in touch with Him. He will allow us to walk with Him and feel Him in our hearts. That is His amazing mercy and grace and most of all, His love. I love You, Lord and I worship and praise You and I thank You for your love for us all. Thank You, Lord. By: Patty M. - September 25, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

The most appealing to me is the whole mission statement because it was written by God. "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." This statement says it all for those who believe in the son of God and the Good News. Praise the Lord!

The most appeal portion of the statement read thus: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me (capital mine) to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." Blessed is the Holy One.

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor: the power of the Word strikes...like the anointing of the priest the healing ointments are being i mean through his holy hands and mouth the Holy Spirit can descend and heal us too. Whatever the needed healing is. Its the how the haeling is passed on. And Mary comes to mind... the wasted precious oils. She was anointing the sacrificial victim who would take our place on the cross to redeem us from our sins. The real release the disciples, being men probably trsuting more in his manlike physical strenght qualities. Her made pure by his teachings and the strong deep faith that not only healed her before the actual crucifixion took place..but knowing how much healing he would bring to so many..that is why i feel, having fully learnt the Love Lesson, could find the strenght to prepare her beloved friend for that dreadful sacrifice. Ready, and willing, to be crucified with him and his mother. St Maximus the Confessor said: "Therefore, in his natural capacity, the Saviour is distinguished as a human being, willing in a fleshly way the shrinking in the face of death together with the rest of the passions, showing the economy to be pure of any fantasy, and redeeming the nature from the passions to which it haas been condemned as a resault of sin.And again He shows His eager desire, putting death to death in the flesh, in order that He might show as a human being that what is natural is saved in himself, and that He might demonstrate, as God, the Father's great and ineffable purpose, fulfilled in the body. For it was not primarily in order to suffer, but in order to save, that He became a human being. Therefore He said, "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not mine, but your will be done (compsoite of Matt 26:39 & Luke 22:42); showing, in the shrinking, the determination of the human will shaped and brought to be (in harmony with the Divine Will) in accordance with the interweaving natural logos with the mode of economy." Opuscule 3, 48C (in Maximus the Confessor, Andrew Louth, p194) [thank you my friend for the quote :)]

Healing the broken hearted is most appealing to me. Because when I went to meet Jesus for the first time i had lots of tears, my heart was so bruised, yes healing the broken in heart makes more sense to me about every thing on Jesus message in Isiah than anything.

Jesus returned in the
power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all
the surrounding area. He
taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
He came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the
synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. The book of the prophetIsaiah
was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was
written,
He closed the book,
gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the
synagogue were fastened on him. He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your
hearing." All testified about
him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth,
and they said, "Isn't this Joseph's son?"
He said to them, "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, 'Physician, heal
yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your
hometown.'" He said, "Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his
hometown. But truly I
tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the
sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over
all the land. Elijah was
sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a
woman who was a widow. There were many lepers in Israel
in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed,
except Naaman, the Syrian." They were all filled
with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things. They rose up, threw him out of
the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built
on, that they might throw him off the cliff. But he, passing through the midst
of them, went his way.
