March 30, 2025: Jesus and the Outsiders

Luke 5:12-13, Luke 17:15-17

Lepers. Samaritans. Samaritan Lepers. Children. All of these were considered outsiders. People without power. People who were shunned. Yet Jesus makes them a priority, welcomes them, spends time with them, heals them and even lifts them up as examples for the “insiders.” How might we do the same?

Reflection Questions: Who would you consider the outsiders today? When have you felt like an outsider and how did it feel? Did someone take the time to include you, listen, or make you feel welcome?
