Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Did you notice the reason the Samaritans did not welcome Jesus into their midst? The Samaritans did not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to Jerusalem (folks from Jerusalem and Samaria hated each other). And when asked by the disciples if Jesus wanted them to be fire-bombed, Jesus said no. Social barriers have been around since the beginning of time, and still are today, even in America. One of the things Jesus came to do was to break down those social barriers. Jesus wanted the people to know that with God everyone is acceptable; with God everyone is loved. The message of Jesus is for everyone; the salvation Jesus offers is for everyone. Jesus doesn't care where we come from, what we look like, how much money we have, or anything like that. Jesus only cares about us caring about him; believing in him and following wherever he leads. Always remember that Jesus came for everyone, everyone who would believe in him. God bless you,
Pastor Josh
