Memory- Selection: "For the, go of man also cam not to be awnistered J . . -, ft.JV, r'P-',-. unto, but to minister, and to' give his J life a ransom for many." Mark. 10: 46 ' Lesson Text: lake 4: 14-22; ;" 19: JO; Hark 10: 45; John St 16 f By this time in His ministry, Jesus had been baptized !by John ihe Bap tist; Jiad suffered His- temptations; had chosen the first of His disciples; performed His first tniracle; rtalked with the woman of Samaria and with Nttodemus; and healed the nobleman's eon-After ,811 this, he had returned to His home town of Nazareth and, as his" custom' was, He went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day ... and "stood up for to read." ""- ' Instead of ..reading Hie assigned Scripture lesson for the day. He chose Isaiah the prophet and tinlike other readers in the. Synagogue, He Inter preted the Scriptures for his listeners, ' declaring, that the prophecy he had 'read to them was that day fulfilled to The passage from Isaiah 61: 1, 2, which Jesus' read, outlined to his lis ' teners, and to us, His mission in com ing into the world. One might well ponder some -of the phrases: "preach good tidings to ' the poor," "release for the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, "to set at liberty them are- bruised, and "to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. Some people today insist that Jesus was a great prophet, a great teacher and a great: Influence , on the world. Others think of Him as Just ft man, wfth great and unusual spiritual, pow- era, a sort of religious- idealist , or dreamer. ' However, Jesus,., himself, ' outlined his. mission irt, comjng into the world: i He was appointed ljy .God, or sent by Efcn, -into . the world, tp preach the good tidings to-(the poor '- (religion in His day- was reserved for the wealthyV.,He was to proclaim re lease 'to all captives ' (not "political prisoners, but those in the chains of sin and error). " He was to be a healer (not only of the, physical body but also of theaoul), JeouldLgive sight , to the blind (the' physically, morally sun HDinhiftjjv blind). He waato nro- i claim the acceptable year of tje Lord, which mean the day of opportunity for alii Jews to hear and accept the Mes siah, the year of God's judgment. t fin Luke 19: 10, Jesus declared that his mission was also "to seek and to f save that which was ; loaf Jesus talked much about the lost. He spoke of the lost coin-, the lost sheen, the lost son and the lost soul,'. It is sig nificant, and somewhat starling, to realize that Jesus spent much, if not most, of his time ministering to those outside the established Synagogue : (church) of his day (the lowly, the despised, ' the moral outcast. The "church people" of Jesus' day were outraged when they saw Him eating - with sinners, being friendly with those in the Neglected groups of so oiety the poor fishermen, the despis ed tax-gatherers and the Magdalene's of his day.. Is this a warning to the sanctimonious church-member today T To whom does the average church minister? It leaves a great deal of its "mtnintArifMr"' in th Salvation Army, the gospel missions and -the like. Are there "untouchables" in our society today? ... Jesus came- to serve, to minister un to any who needed him, to take upon ' himself the form of a servant. He de mands that Eis disciples do. likewise. After all, the only way we can serve Him is through helpful service to our fellowmen, x. ioever and wherever they, may is.

In John S. 13. which has been called "the Little GocpeV we read: "God so ' loved this poor, sinful world, that, in order to save it from , destruction through its own sinful ways, "he sent his ci-Iy T .bvi Eon, that whosoever taller: Ji o I'n k3d not rsiA, fcut lave c: .. .1 I'Ji ?"

And then he had heard hi j mother say he couldn't go, that she was too busy to stop her work and take him to the church. He was just about to burst into tears when his sister asked if she might walk with him to the church.) Because of his sister.
