Better Ministry: Saving

Jesus announced his mission in his hometown synagogue by reading from Isaiah and declaring that the prophecy was fulfilled in their hearing. In eight powerful words, he proclaimed himself as the Messiah who came to save not just the Jewish people, but the entire world. His message of salvation for all people was so offensive to his neighbors that they tried to throw him off a cliff. Jesus came to bring good news, not good advice - announcing that salvation is available to everyone who recognizes their spiritual poverty and need for a Savior.
