SPEAKER

Steve Hill

SCRIPTURE

Matthew 8:1-4

OUTLINE

  1. Physically unacceptable does not mean spiritually unacceptable.
  2. Jesus exchanges His life for our sin.
  3. Jesus is compassionate and willing.
  4. Accept the Gift and enter their Pain.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

  1. Describe a time when you saw a despised or neglected person receive a surprising amount of love and respect.
  2. Tell of a time when you felt like you were not good enough, or marginalized, or were on the wrong side of the tracks. How did that situation shape you?
  3. Who does society deem untouchable today? How about 10 years ago?
  4. Jesus touching a leper in that day was completely unbelievable and sent a powerful message to his followers (as well as the leper!). Discuss ways you can emulate Jesus’ love to others today in similar situations.

NEXT STEPS

  • I will ask God to open my eyes to loving those who are rejected or marginalized, and then do something about it.
