Inclusion: Bent on Mercy

Inclusion seems to be a buzz word of the time with many organizations and entities claiming inclusion as a value. For Christ followers, inclusion is an ancient spiritual practice that was embodied by Jesus. His life and ministry consistently exemplified that love and community must include the marginalized as they too were God’s beloved. Jesus walked in forbidden territories, healed broken hearts and bodies and nourished all in body and spirit, in the name of radical inclusion. On this third Sunday of Lent, we find Jesus enraged in the temple and we find ourselves contemplating our own angry reactions and how they may become opportunities for wholistic change rather than creating further harm. As we worship, let us set our heart and minds on the challenge of living inclusively in a polarized world as we find our sustenance at the table of grace.
