Rescue the Oppressed and the Discouraged (Santosh Poonen)

Who is My Brother's Keeper? Proverbs 24:11-12; Isaiah 56:1-6; Genesis 4:6-9 – you have only one enemy; “rescue the perishing… tell them of Jesus the mighty to save”. The Oppressed: Matthew 8:28-34; the disciple goes boldly into Satan’s territory to rescue the oppressed, not away from it! Satan and his hosts are already doomed and have a limited time to torment people (Revelation 12:12); demons recognize Christ, even if He is in flesh, and beg Him for mercy. The Discouraged: Matthew 9:1-8; the disciple is willing to be inconvenienced and persistent in seeking help for others in their care; your faith can make the difference! God primarily wants to set people free from sin this angers the Devil and the religious hypocrites.
