Matthew 25:40
“The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’”
This verse comes from Jesus' parable of the Sheep and the Goats, found near the end of Matthew's Gospel. Jesus describes a future judgment where people are divided based on how they treated 'the least of these,' implying a profound connection between caring for vulnerable people and serving God.
How might we discern the specific needs of 'the least of these' in our communities today, beyond our initial assumptions?
