This is Max Locato. The book of Titus, chapter 2 and verse 11, assures us that God's grace that can save everyone has come.

We humans aren't prone to this whoever policy. We're prone to pecking orders.

We love the high horse, the affluent over the destitute, the educated over the drop dropout, the old-timer, over the newcomer,

the Jew over the Gentile. An impassable gulf yawned between Jews and Gentiles. No Jew would

have anything to do with the Gentile, unless, of course, that Jew was Jesus. Suspitions of a new

order began to surface because of his curious

conversation with a Canaanite woman. Her daughter was dying. Her prayer was urgent, yet her

ancestry was Gentile. Even so, Jesus healed the woman's daughter and made his position clear.

He was more concerned about bringing people in

than shutting people out. This is Max Locato.
