Post 3 (10/7)

I was struck by the idea of different societies being modeled after Jesus' example in the last class. I'm curious to learn more about specific societies throughout history that use His ideas versus the ones who do not. How are they different? How do they treat the outcasts of society? Perhaps that one specifically since that is something I'm really interested in. Jesus was there with the lowest of the low in society, hanging around them, something nobody expected from the Messiah. The fact that he was around the poor, the prostitutes, the beggars is something we should take a closer look at and see how we as a society treat them. But not only as a society, but how we as individuals contribute to that as well.
