This final session refers to the point in the Gospel where Christ commences His ministry by quoting the passage of Isaiah as ’the Scripture now fulfilled’ through his arrival as the Messianic King. Bartelt identifies this significantly following His Baptism by John, and likens this as parallel to our Baptism: by which we are clothed in white robe of Righteousness with onset of Christ, relieved of the debt of our sin and granted forgiveness. With responsibility we are now expected to reflect His Light to all the world.
