The good news for outsiders

When someone has an epiphany, it's not that reality changed. The way they see that reality did. In the same way, having Jesus in our lives doesn't always mean our reality changes. It simply means we see that reality differently (and better). Today we get an “Epiphany Orientation” about the people Jesus brings into his kingdom and the lengths to which he is willing to go in order to do it. You don’t have to be an “insider” to get close to Jesus. In fact, very often those who seem to be insiders stay far away. In contrast, God moves heaven and earth to bring those who seem to be farthest from the Savior right to his side.
