“He (Jesus) stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to Him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.’”

“The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons.”
2. The power and gifts of the Holy Spirit are to equip the church to carry out its ministry until Jesus returns.
