The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this segment, Steve Gregg discusses the idea of whether Jesus excluded anyone from his teachings. While some may view his teachings as exclusionary, Gregg argues that Jesus is inclusive and invites everyone to access his teachings. He goes on to discuss how Jesus is like a shepherd, laying down his life to protect his sheep and ensure their safety. Despite the potential risks, the good shepherd takes heroic action to safeguard his flock. Ultimately, Gregg emphasizes the importance of understanding God's chosen people and how the church relates to the new covenant.
