- Read Matthew 5:1–12. What are the attributes you notice about each person Jesus calls blessed? How might these people have felt on the outside?
- Read Matthew 25:34–40. What do you notice about the list of people Jesus connects himself to? How does this line up with his list of who is blessed in the last passage?
- What are some examples of people who are in analogous groups today?
- What are some things you and your group can do to live out Jesus’ radical love for those stuck on the outside this week?
