Messianic promises about Jesus' ministry

    t, choose at least three specific ways in which these Messianic promises about Jesus' ministry are enacted or fulfilled in our assigned readings from both the Gospel of Luke and the book Acts (through chapter 10). Choose at least one example from each writing (i.e, at least one from Luke and one from Acts). In other words, in what ways does God's Spirit, working through Jesus and/or the early disciples as recorded in both Luke and Acts, provide freedom, release and healing for those who are oppressed or in captivity? Think about the kinds of freedom that Jesus and his followers provide (i.e., freedom from various forms of oppression as well as physical healing). Explain your choices and reflect on how this theme helps you understand the church's overall mission in the first century as well as today. Luke 1-2; 4; 10-15; 18-19; 24 required readings
