“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ (Matthew 25:35-40)
http://www.theleastofthese.org/ This site is about teaching orphans about Christ unconditional love by the acts of kindness showed to them through the arms of those who love Christ and want to be the arms and the feet.
Take a moment and click on the above link read the story. See how Christ is truly a great social worker.
While Christ wants us to be compassionate and caring to all people, this passage is primarily about how we treat those the world seems to think are the least, but whom Christ values as his disciples. The least, the last, and the left out become the primary ones who come to Christ and find life, love, and lasting hope. Christ' promise is that as we care for those in Christ' community, no matter their circumstance, we are caring for him. Cause each one of us are apart of the body, then If we are the Body,Why aren't His arms reaching? If we are the body? Why aren't these hands healing? If we are the body? Why aren't His words teaching? If we are the body? Then why are we not doing what Peter did ? Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give to thee. Remember next time someone ask you for help, silver and gold you may not have but you can pray for them, you can offer to buy them a BigMac or lunch or dinner. Though they might be the least as far as the world views them. In the eyes of God they are children, that he loves and desires to to see redeemed. Yet we are the body how are reflecting that Love that God wants us to have for the world? When we yet enemies to God and certainly as enemies we could have been considered the least but he loved us so much that he made us first. His first priority to redeem us to love us and let us know that he would not forsake nor leave us. Isn't it time we return the favor to the world to show them the same unconditional love that Christ showed each of us???
"Then the king will answer, 'I tell you the truth. Anything you did for any of my people here, you also did for me.' " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is certainly taken to another level with Matthew 25. Life is not about you and I, but about how we can and should be a blessing to others. Pray tell how else is the world to come to the full knowledge of Christ unless we show it to them. They full well have knowledge of pain and misery, for that is what the prince of this world offers to all. But through you and I, they can experience Christ love, do not hide it or wait until someone loves you first or those that you feel have earned it. Because you and I were given a gift that we never earned or deserved and that was eternal life. give freely as it was given to you. Seek out the least among us and bless them, as Christ has blessed you. Tell them the good news, for its time they know that Christ loves them also.
