Jesus' final commission to his followers—as he ascended into heaven—was to share His good news with all the world. We naturally have a tendency to focus on the people who have the most in common with us, but Jesus Christ tells us that His community will include a shockingly diverse group of people. As C.S. Lewis said, “It takes all sorts to make a world; or a church. This may be even truer of a church. If grace perfects nature it must expand all our natures into the full richness of the diversity which God intended when He made them, and Heaven will display far more variety than Hell.” In this series, we’ll learn, from Jesus’ example, how to invite—and exist alongside—people of all ages, all nations, all values, and all stations.
