Soon after this He began His public ministry.
One Sabbath day, He went to the synagogue as was His custom, and stood up to read from the Holy Book.
The servant or attendant gave Him a roll of the Prophet Isaiah, and, when He had found the place, He began to read.
And what do you think the Son of God, the Saviour of the World, read to explain His great mission?
He read: "The Lord . . . hath anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted; to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind; to set at liberty them that are bruised."
He comes to each one of us first of all with the promise of forgiveness. His name means that!
"Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins."
[VII. The Well at Nazareth]
In the story belonging to the last picture, we heard how God sent an angel to Joseph in a dream, and told him to take the Lord Jesus and His mother away from Egypt, and to go back to their own city, Nazareth.
Our next picture is of the public well at Nazareth, where people even to this very day go to draw all the water which they want.
