Exclusion or embrace?


I just started reading Miroslav Volf's book Exclusion and Embrace, so you may read a lot of it throughout my blog. A thought that stuck in my mind all day is, do we exclude people or embrace them; regardless of their race, religion, and sex? Who have you excluded today or this past year, who have you embraced? Is there someone that you could embrace? If Jesus said go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19), then why are we excluding people? To make disciples we must not only embrace them, we must teach them on a daily bases. So, "makes someone else's day and you've made yours." Go and bless someone, embrace them as family, and guide them to Jesus.
