How do we know Jesus came to save specific groups of people?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus explicitly mentioned he came to save the poor, brokenhearted, captives, blind, and oppressed.

In Luke 4:18-19, Jesus provides a clear description of his mission by reading from Isaiah. He proclaims that he has been anointed to preach the gospel to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, and proclaim freedom for the captives. This indicates that his ministry is focused on those who recognize their spiritual neediness and their inability to save themselves. This contrasts the belief that Jesus came to save everyone, emphasizing that he specifically identifies those whom he came to save—those who are spiritually bankrupt and seeking redemption. This highlights the grace of God's choosing and the efficacy of Christ's atonement.
