Jesus was a Jewish homeless vagabond, born in poor conditions to a woman whose husband was not his father, raised a refugee in Egypt, despised by his own people, hated by the religious leaders, physically assaulted by law enforcement, and executed with capital punishment, even though he was completely innocent. He did not just reach the marginalized—he embodied the marginalized. His entire life said, “Pay attention to the least of these.”
You can’t preach Jesus as he is without Jesus as he was.
