3 Luke 4:14-21 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord s favor.

4 Jesus came to proclaims good news to the poor

5 Why is the good news proclaimed to the poor?

6 Jesus cares A LOT about people who are poor

7 Jesus came to proclaim freedom for prisoners

8 Jesus came to bring recovery of sight for the blind

9 Jesus came to set the oppressed free

10 Jesus came to proclaim the year of the Lord s favor

11 Jesus cares about the poor

12 Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God. Bob Pierce, founder of World Vision

13 Jesus cares about the poor Matthew 11:5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.

14 Jesus cares about the poor Matthew 19:21 Jesus answered, If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.

15 Jesus cares about the poor Luke 11:41 But now as for what is inside you be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.

16 Jesus cares about the poor Luke 12:33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

17 Jesus cares about the poor Luke 14:12-14 Then Jesus said to his host, When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.

28 Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

29 Then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you? The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25:31-46
