Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
– Matthew 25:44-45
What makes these words so sobering is not cruelty, but unawareness. They didn’t refuse Jesus outright. They simply didn’t recognize Him. They looked at hunger, thirst, loneliness, sickness, imprisonment, and saw situations, not a Savior standing quietly within them. Jesus’ answer is tender and firm at the same time: What you did not do for the least, you did not do for Me. It reminds us that love is not measured only by intention, but by attention. Christ does not always come clothed in glory, sometimes He comes needing care, dignity, and presence.
Father God, open our eyes to see You in the least and the overlooked. Teach us to love You by loving them. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
