The Untouchables

Jesus’ first recorded message in a synagogue is recorded in Luke 4. He chose to read from the scroll of Isaiah, proclaiming He had come to heal the broken hearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, and to set free the oppressed. In His life, Jesus Christ proceeded to heal the brokenhearted, the oppressed, the downtrodden, those in society that were considered "Untouchables.” This sermon looks at some examples of the healings Jesus Christ performed which point to the future healing, the complete healing, of mankind. God’s plan of salvation involves complete healing.
