It’s easy to get distracted by things that don’t matter. It’s easy to lose focus on the things that do. Thankfully, Jesus helps us take a step back, tune out the noise, and make sure we are on the same frequency as God. This week we see Jesus help us get “dialed in” on inclusiveness. Being inclusive is emphasized a great deal in our world. What is often missing, however, is a solid basis for this inclusiveness. When differences so easily breed resentment, fear, and distrust, why should include rather than exclude those who are not like us? While many different answers could be given, none greater than the gospel exists. Because God’s love and Jesus’ work are for all people, we have every reason to love and embrace all people.
