NO REJECTS

          Text: Luke 4:18 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.

Jesus never over looks the things we do for him or for others.

Two Mites

          Mark 12:41-44 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

           ⁴²And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

           ⁴³And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

          ⁴⁴For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Cold Water

          Matthew 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

Jairus and woman with Blood Issue

          Mark 5:21-42

 ²²And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

 ²³And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

 ²⁴And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

 ²⁵And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

 ²⁶And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

 ²⁷When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

 ²⁸For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

 ²⁹And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

 ³⁰And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

 ³¹And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

 ³²And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

 ³³But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

 ³⁴And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

 ³⁵While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

 ³⁶As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

 ³⁷And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

 ³⁸And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

 ³⁹And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

 ⁴⁰And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

 ⁴¹And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

 ⁴²And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

Preach the gospel to the poor.

           Luke 8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

Heal the brokenhearted.

 (Funeral)

           Luke 7:12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

 ¹³And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

 ¹⁴And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

 ¹⁵And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

 ¹⁶And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

Preach deliverance to the captives.

Set at liberty them that are bruised. (by legalism).

           John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

 ³⁵And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

 ³⁶If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Recovering of sight to the blind.

          Matthew 12:22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

           Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

         

We can do greater than these

          John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
