Jesus came to show us the Father, and in his earthly ministry indeed throughout the Bible almost all miracles focused on the sick, the poor, the demonically oppressed and/or those in danger. Time after heart-rending time, we see God in the flesh moved with deep compassion for people who were hurting. He repeatedly singled out foreigners for special attention and praise. When surrounded by a jostling crowd, it was the most needy (the hemorrhaging woman) that he focused on. The Son of God selected societys rejects (tax collectors, prostitutes, lepers, a dying thief, etc.) to defend and socialize with. Even at his birth it was lowly shepherds, not the theologians and religious elite, that angels appeared to. We see Gods heart exposed in the parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:4-7). The safe ones are loved and divinely cared for, but those who are particularly needy or vulnerable (the lost) receive extra care and attention from the Good Shepherd. Consider the beatitudes: blessed are the poor, the hungry, the grieving, the hated, the slandered, the persecuted; woe to those who currently have a soft, easy life (Luke 6:20-26).
