Don't you hate it when you find out your friends have been hanging out without you? It's the worst. But even though we all hate being the person who got left out, be honest — you've done this to someone before, haven't you? You know what it's like to be excluded and you know what it's like to exclude too. This isn't just a you and me problem. It's a human problem. Even some early Christians found themselves excluding people in the name of Jesus!
When the Jesus movement was first beginning, a lot of Jesus' followers thought only a certain group of people were allowed to become Christians. They even thought Scripture supported them and that, by excluding certain people, they were honoring God. God had to speak to Peter, one of Jesus' closest friends and disciples, in a dream in order to give them this message: the good news of Jesus isn't just for an exclusive group — we're called to pass it on to unexpected people.
Who would you not expect to be interested in Jesus' story? How do you feel about sharing it with them?

About this Plan
These days, you see a lot of people using their social media platforms to talk about themselves. But Scripture is filled with stories about "influencers" who made a name for themselves talking about Jesus is and what Jesus came to do. In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll be challenged to share the good news of Jesus like the early apostles did.
