In this talk from Onward Youth, Evangelist Sam Chan shares his thoughts on tribalism, community, inclusion and love. He encourages Christians to look to the life of Jesus who “merged universes” to express true inclusion and unconditional love.
Key Quotes:
“Jesus says, “Merge your universes. Get your Christian friends to meet your non-Christian friends, and your Christian friends to meet your Christian friends and form new communities.” And Jesus was the example of this because Jesus was always eating and drinking with those who disagree with Him.”
“This is true inclusiveness, because if we really only include those who agree with us, well, that’s exclusion.”
“…we must merge our universes, and eat and drink with those who disagree with us. Then we will be practising inclusion, hospitality and unconditional love.”
