Jesus was a master includer, especially of those who were usually excluded by the church. Our circle of inclusion will govern our influence, growth and legacy. Inclusion is not evangelism, we have evangelised without loving people and made it about us not them.
Inclusion is not just an act, gesture, or event. It's an attitude and a mentality. It has to be because not all acts of inclusion end well. Sometimes people don't respond well to our acts of inclusion, the Jews didn't, the rich young ruler didn't and Nazareth didn't to Jesus. Inclusion unlike evangelism isn't about a good response it's simply about loving and serving people. How inclusive are you?
