The other day, from my sketchy memory came Jesus’s statement,
“that which you do unto the least of these my brethren you do unto me.” All I remembered was Jesus referring to acts
of kindness.
Since, in my line of work, one thinks of both sides of an
issue, I realized that the same principle would apply to mistreatment of Jesus’s
brethren – during his life and today.
Applying
another principle from my work - when in doubt, review the statutory language -
I look today at the Bible. There in the
Book of Matthew, chapter 25, verse [31-] 41, appears, ‘When the Son of man
shall come, he shall say also unto them . . . I was hungry, and ye gave me no
meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger and ye took me
not in; naked, and ye clothed me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry,
or thirsty, 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.’
