““He will answer them, ‘I’m telling the solemn truth: Whenever you failed to do one of these things to someone who was being overlooked or ignored, that was me—you failed to do it to me.’” (Matthew 25:45, The Message)
The parable of the sheep and goats. When the Son of Man comes his concern for the overlooked or ignored will be obvious, because here, the goats; the ones who fail to feed the hungry or thirsty or provide shelter for the homeless, find out that what they missed was that they were not serving the Son of Man himself when they neglected those who needed help.
Strong words.
We need to see that in serving the needy, the overlooked, the ignored; we are serving Christ.
