When you think of “sinners” who might be excluded from God’s kingdom, does anyone come to mind? If so, you may be entering dangerous territory. The Pharisees were certain of their own seat at God’s table, convinced that the tax collectors and prostitutes had no such place. But Jesus came precisely for the people the religious crowd wrote off. He welcomes the broken, the fallen, the forgotten with open arms the moment they repent and turn to Him. God’s grace reaches farther than our judgments, and we may be surprised by those who are on heaven’s guest list!

The Crossroads of Life

But the most important crossroads we will ever face is when we choose whether to accept Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world or reject Him forever. Choose wisely! This decision not only affects your life today, but all of eternity. What decision will you make at life’s most important crossroads?
