Who does Jesus want to include?

Acts 8:1-40

Background: Stephen’s legacy is that the Good News leaves Jerusalem (1-4)

Who does Jesus want to save and include in the Church He is building?    

(1) Jesus wants the despised (5-8 and 14-17)

(2) Jesus wants the deceived (9-13 and 18-25)

(3) Jesus wants the distant (26-40)

Do we want these people on Jesus’ team, and will we help them join?
