The World’s “Nobodies” are God’s “Some-bodies”

1. Simeon – (Luke 2:25-35) “It was revealed unto Simeon by the Holy Ghost that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

2. Anna – (Luke 2:36) “Anna departed not from the temple…And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of Him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.”

3. Andrew – (Matthew 4:18) “Simon Peter’s brother”

4. Lad – (John 6:8-9) “Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto Jesus, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?…5,000 fed with 12 baskets left over!”

5. Woman with issue of blood – (Matthew 9:20) “She said within herself, If I may but touch the hem of his garment, I shall be whole…Thy faith hath made thee well.”

Jesus said she hath wrought a good work upon me for in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.”

8. Ananias – (Acts 9:10-19) “The Lord in a vision said unto Ananias, Arise and go thy way: for Saul is a chosen vessel unto me. Ananias went his way and entered into the house; and putting his hands on Saul said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus hath sent me that thou mightest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell form his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.”

9. Dorcas – (Acts 9:36-43) “Full of good works and alms deeds which she did…Widows shewing the coats and garments which she made to Peter…Dorcas raised from the dead and was presented alive. And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.”
