In my high school classroom, both my Hispanic and African American students found themselves in the pages of The Outsiders—young people navigating life from the margins. As I read the Gospels, I see the same truth: Jesus consistently welcomed and honored those on the outside. From the Roman centurion to the woman with the issue of blood to the persistent Canaanite mother, their stories reveal a Savior whose compassion crosses every border and whose kingdom is wide enough for all.
