Jesus was about the people, he understood them

He was tempted in every way, just as we are - Hebrews 4:15

Jesus' heart went out to people and it moved him to action
Their needs drove Jesus' ministry

Our charge is to walk as Jesus walked
Luke 10 illustrates Jesus' plan as he send out the 72 disciples
He challenged them to rejoice because their names were written in heaven
The end challenge was to go and do likewise - Luke 10:37

Cannot be done unless it costs us something
Seeking and saving the lost is accomplished by preaching the gospel and helping people
Key Phrase: Jesus' heart went out to people and it moved him to action
