Matthew 25: 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Jesus is talking about the Second Coming. He has separated the sheep from the goats. The sheep are described as being compassionate. The goats are not. They have ignored the needs of their fellow man.
It's hard for me not to reply when people say we shouldn't help refugees as long as we have one homeless American. This clearly proves them wrong. The least of these doesn't see nationality. It isn't about choosing one person over another. We are called to help everyone.
Prayer: Lord, I pray for my country. So many claim allegiance to You, but their actions don't follow Your word about helping people. Help us to share willingly with all Your creation. Guide me to be more compassionate.
Amen
