The Lord described his ministry by saying:
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel 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,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4)
The Savior provided the following evidence to John the Baptist when asked if he was the Christ:
Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. (Luke 7:22)
Some disciples recognized Jesus’ command over the elements:
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. (Luke 8:25)
The Samaritan woman recognized Jesus as a source of light because of his supernatural knowledge of details from her past: “Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?” (John 4:29)
In the midst of indescribably harrowing trials, Jesus looked down from the cross at his suffering mother and asked John to take care of her, and comforted the scared but repentant thief who was also being crucified.
Jesus demonstrated fruits that indicated he had greater light and truth: He provided instruction and wisdom to alleviate the condition of the poor, the broken, the ignorant, and the incorrect. He commanded the physical world to a greater extent than standard knowledge allows. He loved those who did not deserve love, and he exercised extreme compassion while in the midst of incomparable suffering.
To the extent that you have obtained Jesus’ light, you will do Jesus’ works.
