Thursday, January 8, 2015:

Jesus said: “My people, in the Gospel you can see how the Old Testament readings are the predecessor of My New Testament readings. Salvation history has been foretold through many prophets, how a Redeemer would come and save the people from their sins. I read the Scripture from Isaiah how I would heal the blind, the lepers, and the poor. I would release sinners of their sins through My sacrifice on the cross. This is why I told the people of Nazareth that this Scripture reading was fulfilled in their hearing. The people received Me with joy at first. Later, when they heard about My claims of being God’s Son, they wanted to kill Me, but I walked through their midst. The people of My day did not understand My mission in bringing salvation to the whole world. I did not just come only to save the Jews, but all of humanity is given an opportunity to be saved. Those people, who believe in Me as their Savior, and seek My forgiveness of their sins, will be saved from hell and their sins, and they will find their reward with Me in heaven.”
