Truly metaphors for the lost spiritual condition of all humanity (though obviously those who are actually poor, prisoners, blind and oppressed are also ripe to receive the gospel message because they are in a position where they are almost forced to acknowledge their desperate state).<br /><br />And what a description of believers! We are the poor who have been made rich spiritually, we are the captives who have been set free, we are the blind who now see and the oppressed who have been delivered.<br /><br />The day of judgment is surely coming, but today is the day of salvation!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045517118866436340noreply@blogger.com
