When Jesus Walked This Earth, He Spent Time With the Messes...

A lonely thief.

An unwelcome dinner guest.

A death-row criminal facing his final hours on earth.

What do all of these people have in common?

They all faced the messiness of life. Some made the mess themselves. Some were thrown headfirst into a mess through no fault of their own.

Then something changed. It wasn't that they suddenly became unmessy. But they each came face to face with Jesus, and he invited them to be part of God's story. He didn't leave them out.

This 40-day devotional looks at eight encounters Jesus had with messy, broken people. In short, daily readings, you'll explore each story and see how Jesus met each person in their mess.

The eight stories we'll be walking through together are:

• Jesus Meets The Lonely Thief
• Jesus Meets The Know-It-All
• Jesus Meets The Unwelcome Dinner Guest
• Jesus Meets The Woman Who Was Exploited
• Jesus Meets The Sick Woman & The Dead Girl
• Jesus Meets The Blind Man With Perfect Vision
• Jesus Sees The Invisible Widow
• Jesus Meets The Honest Criminal

Whether you've been following Jesus your whole life or have never cracked open a Bible, Nobody Left Out: Jesus Meets the Messes will remind you that God's love is big enough for everyone....

He doesn't want anyone left out!
