least of these

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Matthew 25:40

Jesus sees

how I treat

the least of these

the call to care

is always there

everywhere

I must love

like my Lord above

ALL who need love

Jesus sees

how I treat

the least of these

Who are the least of these?

Feed the hungry.

Quench the thirsty.

Welcome strangers.

Clothe the shivering.

Visit the sick.

Comfort the imprisoned.

For in their need

I will find

the least of these

In their need

Jesus sees

The least of these

The lonely, the poor ones

The bereaved, the torn ones

The ignored, the outcast ones

The broken, the marginalized ones

All of these

are the least of these

and with the love of Christ

and the gospel message

they can belong!

We can all sing a song:

“We are the least of these, now redeemed!”
