Jesus said he was called to give good news to the poor.  This might mean that he intended to minister to those who are poor in attitude, poor in spirit, or poor in self confidence.  Jesus said he was called to give freedom for prisoners.  This might mean the prison of self limitation, the prison of narrow mindedness, the prison of negativity and scarcity in your thinking. Jesus said he was called to give recovery for the Blind. What are your blinders? What do you miss?  What do you choose not to see?  What do you fail to acknowledge?  This Sunday we will look at the ministry of the Historical Jesus to see how his work informs our values for social justice and anti-oppression.
