Good Luck!
Juesus made special effort to make sure that there was no such thing in his world as an outcast.
**********************************************
Jesus cleansed the Temple as a dramatic act of defiance against the abusive and oppressive legalistic religion that left out marginal and undesirable people. Mark 11:17: "Jesus began to teach and say to them, "Is it not written (Isaiah 56:7), 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations (Greek ethnos), But you have made it a robbers' den." The word ethnos is the New Testament word for "gentiles."

The part of the Temple that Jesus cleansed was the part that was set aside for the use of foreigners and non Jews. It had become a place of commerce and greed. Jesus attacked the abusive use of religion in the special place that was intended to make faith in God inclusive of all people. This turned the politically powerful priests against Jesus and led directly to his death.

Throughout the ministry of Jesus, his actions were consistently aimed at including the people that religion had left out. Jesus included women, children, foreigners, sinners, the "unclean", outcasts, the sick and even outlaws and murderers (thief on the cross) at a time when the basic thrust of religion was to divide people into "insiders" and "outsiders", the clean and the unclean. Not much has changed.

Answer 2

Jesus And Outcasts

Answer 3

Jesus challenged men and women to fulfill their roles as children of the Most High. He was content to eat with tax collectors, to talk with a prostitute in the home of a host (on his journeys), to defend a woman whom a crowd accused of adultery, to talk with a Samaritan woman at a public well, and to dismiss criticisms from the Pharisees with the words:

"Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. (Mark 2:17)

So, Jesus did not seek out famous teachers or leaders and try to convert them. He did not seek out powerful people, but he did seek out those on the bottom or outside of society. In those people, he saw those most in need of his help.

Answer 4

Non believers, sinners and out casts loved to be around him, this is why many church leaders at the time disliked him. They thought it was unholy to be around sinners and outcasts, the funny thing is, we are all sinners and out casts, little ironic huh?

Answer 5

With respect. Most people didn't give them the time of day. He didn't care about his reputation of what men thought of him, he reached out to people who were hurting physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Answer 6

I agree with the first two plus he witnessed to them about how he was the Son of God

Answer 7

Jesus died for the human race, no matter what class they put themselves in, no matter what creed they are, no matter what religion and no matter their social status. His first concern is you are human. Who labels other humans? It is the humans themselves, not the creator of humans. The creator loves all humans, he doesn't see with human eyes. We humans are created in his own image, meaning we ought to strive and emulate the steps of Christ and pray for the spirit of discernment for us to understand and see in heavenly perception. By so doing we will stop this labeling of other humans created in the image of the creator. Jehovah's Witness are as any other group of human beings who were given the power of choice, we are like them, we also have our different type of opinions. But all the same Christ also died for them......who are we to condemn? After all it is Christ who died and it is Christ who arose and is sitting on his father's right hand, pleading our case. Bring down these stubborn Jericho walls of human classification and embrace all humans and witness to those who do not know. Your part is to impart the good news to all nations and to all tongues. Your part is to align fellow humans with the stream of salvation. Your part is to go and give testimony about your life. Your part is to live the words of Christ and Your part is to Love your neighbor as you love yourself
