The Least of These

 He will gather them ALL together.

Not just the Americans.

Or the Brits.

Or the Africans.

Or the Mexicans.

Or the rich.

Or the megastars.

Or my family.

Or . . .

Nope. All.

Every. Single. One.

"When he finally arrives, blazing in beauty and all his angels with him, the Son of Man will take his place on his glorious throne. Then all the nations will be arranged before him (all the nations will be gathered before him) and he will sort the people out, much as a shepherd sorts out sheep and goats, putting sheep to his right and goats to his left."

When Jesus comes back to rule on THIS earth, the ONLY distinction he, the Son of God and Son of Man, will make is NOT what your skin color is or where you were born or lived or whether you had wealth or power or whether you are male or female. These are not what matter on that day. The ONLY thing that will matter is this: 

 

 

I was hungry and you fed me, 
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, 
I was homeless and you gave me a room, 
I was shivering and you gave me clothes, 
I was sick and you stopped to visit, 
I was in prison and you came to me.

This here. 

Matters.

These actions.

Matter.

Giving food and drink

Giving home

Giving clothes

Giving time

Community.

These are what matter.

To God

Should matter

To us.

Father, forgive us 

We know not what we are doing

to your family

your creation

your dreams

your name.

 Matthew 25:31-46 NIV
