1 JESUS MINISTRY ON EARTH

2 Why Did Jesus Come to Earth?

3 “Then John’s disciples told him about all these things
“Then John’s disciples told him about all these things. So John summoned two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord, asking, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for someone else?’ When the men reached Him, they said, ‘John the Baptist sent us to ask you, are you the one who is to come, or should we look for someone else?’ Luke 7 : 18-20

4 At that time Jesus healed many people of diseases, plaques, and evil spirits, and He granted sight to many blind people. He replied to them ‘Go and report to John the things you have seen and heard; The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news preached to them. And anyone who is not offended because of Me is blessed.’ Luke 7:

5 ‘No more let sins and sorrow grow, nor thorn infest the ground, He comes to make his blessings flow, far as the curse is found.’

6 ‘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 proclaim freedom to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.

7 Summoning the twelve He gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to heal diseases. Then He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and heal the sick.

8 God does not accept false fasting
Cry out loudly don’t hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Tell my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. They seek me day after day and delight to know my ways, like a nation that does what is right and does not abandon the justice of their God. They ask Me for righteous judgments, the delight in the nearness of God. Why have we fasted, but you have not seen? We have denied ourselves but you haven’t noticed.

9 The reasons God ignore their fasts:
You fast with contention and strife to strike viciously with your fist. You cannot fast as you do today, hoping your voice heard on high. Will the fast I choose be like this: A day for a person to deny himself, to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sack cloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the Lord?

10 The fast that God wants:
Isn’t the fast I choose: To break the chains of wickedness to untie the ropes of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and to tear off every yoke?

11 The fast that God wants:
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, to bring the poor and homeless into your house, to clothe the naked when you see him and not to ignore your own flesh and blood?

12 If you have done these: Then your light will appear like the dawn and your recovery will come quickly. Your righteousness will go before you and the Lord’s glory will be your rear guard.

13 If you have done these At that time when you call, the Lord will answer; when you cry out, He will say: Here I am. If you get rid of the yoke from those around you, the finger pointing and malicious speaking, and if you offer yourself to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted one, then your light will shine in the darkness and your light will be like noonday.

14 Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, plenty of food and comfortable security, but didn’t support the poor and the needy. Ezekiel 16: 49-50

15 ‘Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of his possessions was his own, but instead they held everything in common”. Acts 4:32

16 “Sell your possessions and give to the poor
“Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Make money bags for yourselves that won’t grow old, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also” Luke 12:33-34
