DistinctSample

We have all been excluded before. Maybe you didn't make the sports team, didn't get a call back for the school musical or didn't get an invite to a party that all of your other friends did. How did you feel after you learned you were excluded? Frustrated? Sad? Angry? Upset? Perhaps a mix of all of these emotions? 

When we are excluded, we struggle with the feeling of not being good enough or being unwanted, and that can hurt us deeply. But the good news is Jesus doesn't exclude anyone. He never has. His ministry was all about inclusion. After Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead, he spoke to his followers and giving them a final word before leaving them. He told them to "make disciples of all nations." Everyone. The whole world. No one left out. Jesus wanted to see his message, which is meant for everyone, to distinctly reach every everywhere. 

Who is someone Jesus might be asking you to share his message with?
