comments: "That is surely the most joyous, even
riotous, performances I have ever heard or seen! The tenor is
magnificent; he is not just singing words but rejoicing in the story
of the Messiah" / "Every now and then, I bump into
something so unimaginably wonderful I forget the dark side of
humanity and lose myself in awe, beauty, and inspiration" /
"This has to be the most beautiful presentation of the most
beautiful, faith-filled, Oratorio by Georg Handel ever" /
"It is the glorification of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world
and how He is felt in this. My soul is overwhelmed by His Majesty
and the wonders of the prophecies of the scriptures that have come
together to announce Him in this grand masterpiece by Handel"
/ "...the exquisite melodies and the pure 'sola scriptura'
which gives this Oratorio its power to touch the hearts of believers
as well as those who have chosen to disbelieve" / "Truly
a wonderful performance" / "All honour and praise and
worship to our Messiah Jesus" / "Herein is love, not
that we loved, but that God loved us" / "Magnifico.
Glory to God. Worthy, worthy, worthy, is the Lamb" /

Thus saith the LORD,
Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask
for the old paths, where is the good way,
and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls
