Matthew 8:10-11
When Jesus heard him, he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “Truly I tell you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and will eat with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven...
Faith is often found
in the least expected places
In those who are mostly overlooked
or written off
Or those about whom
certain assumptions are made
Jesus hunted down
and called out
that air of entitlement
that was as rife then
as it is now
And he brought to the fore
those consigned to the margins
He held them up as examples
for others to follow
much to the chagrin
of the in crowd
who suddenly got to taste
what exclusion feels like.
And still Christ searches out
those who are lost
and those who are seeking
and, with a fanfare
ushers them in
to the Kingdom of God.
