Jesus knows that salvation often comes where we least expect it, in the form of the one we are most likely to exclude. I’m not using the word salvation to talk about our afterlife destination—I’m talking about the state of our souls in this life. Our exclusivism damns us, not to hell but to a state of separation from our brothers and sisters. We are saved when we let go of our superiority and our need to exclude, when we see that our savior is present in “the least of these.”
