Here's the list of people Jesus came for that Pastor Rick shared in his sermon last weekend.

WHO JESUS CAME FOR
By Rick Warren

In my study of Gospels, I made a list of the people Jesus came for:

Jesus came for the chewed up, the crossed off, and the crying out,
The dropped out, edged out, fizzled out, and freaked out
The have nots and the held back,
The hung over and the knocked around

He came for the left out, the loaded down, and the looked over
The locked up, led astray, the laid off, and the let down
He came for the messed up and the mixed up

Jesus came for the passed over, the picked on, the put down
and the pushed around

The ripped off, the run down, and the run over

He came for people who are screwed up and shrugged off
The shut in and shut out
The smashed up and the strung out

He came for the torn up, the thrown away, and the turned off
Those who are used up and walked over
The washed out, the worn out, and the wiped out.

The written off

He came for you.

And  me.




Rick Warren

The list is very inclusive, but even for those who don't think they can identify themselves in the above, isn't it a great feeling to know that Jesus came for those folk too.

I love this. I listened to it three times and tried to get it all written down. I'm so glad you posted it. I have sent it to everyone in my address book. I've been listening to Saddleback for three weeks now and I am so grateful for it. The ministry is amazing. And I can identify myself all over in this list. Thank you.

oh, How , How do you know about how i had been feeling? I have been so desperate and mixed up and messed. I just feel I am nothing important. I just don't know where I am going to. I was crying out for God. I wanted to get myself back. I have been struggling. I happend to read through the blog, and read this. I just wanna say thank you, i wanted to speak my feeling to someone but I could not. Thank you to let me notice again that Jesus came for some one feeling nothing. I am relieved. I'Ll talk to God.
