"During the ministry of Jesus in the land of the Jews he came across many sinners, sick of all sorts, paralysed, lepers, and even the dead whom he healed by a loving utterance "your sins are forgiven". The blind regained their sight, the paralysed took up their beds and walked way, the lepers were cleansed, and to crown all the dead were raised to life. Sin, sickness and death were impositions made upon the Jewish society by their priests for religious defaults which could only be forgiven by various sacrifices; Jesus said "God is not pleased with sacrifices; he is a God of mercy.
Jesus of Nazareth gave God to mankind as their Father, assured them of God's paternal
care, and said that the Kingdom of God is within them. The interpretation of his
dictum "TRUTH shall liberate you" will give us freedom from sin, sickness and
death, that is his Second coming in the fullness of time."
