Watch out for elitism in the church! Jesus empowered by the Holy Spirit confronted the establishment of his day. He looked for the poor, the captives, the blind and the oppressed. He looked for the widows and the non-Jewish people of his day. This brought him persecution but he handled it in the power of the Holy Spirit. The church is a hospital not a country club for the elite or for those who look just like us. Who are the oppressed in our family or society as a whole that we can set free and proclaim God’s favor upon them?
