Jesus is the Messiah, sent by the Father, to establish His rule of justice, love and peace.  This will mean good news for the poor, healing for the sick, and liberation for the enslaved and oppressed.  Jesus’ mission was to set the world on fire, not with the fire of hatred and division, but with the fire of an unquenchable and unconquerable love, especially His outreach to the poor and marginalized, with the fire that represented an absolute reversal of the unjust status quo, the powerful religious and political elites of His day.
