CHRIST-LIKE WELCOME: A reflection by Jeanette Salguero
Christ-like welcome of enemies is a costly grace that bids us to reimagine how we treat others. In this welcome we are reminded that forgiveness is not synonymous with reconciliation. Reconciliation requires repentance and restitution. Welcome of adversaries in a deeply fallen world must come with Jesus’s admonition, “sin no more,” a call for change and restitution. Welcome is both a gift and a responsibility rooted in the incarnation that is full of both grace and truth.

About this Plan
The welcome of Christ was astonishing to the culture around him. He gave voice to the speechless, frustrated the powerful, and humbled the wise. As Christians, our welcome should be like his– wonderfully surprising, deeply challenging, and firmly rooted in love. This five-week study explores the complicated and beautiful welcome of Jesus toward his most beloved creation, human beings. Jump in with us, individually or with a small group, and let’s transform how we show welcome.
