  1. Introduction:In this lesson we move down one level from the “ordinary people” of last week and talk about Jesus and social outcasts. Jesus not only related well to ordinary people, he seemed to have a special place in his heart for people on the lowest rungs of society. Four types of people in the Bible who fit into this category are lepers, harlots, Samaritans and tax collectors. We will look at each of those groups this week.
