The Least of These

There is only one man who ever lived in history and died, but then, conquered death by rising from the grave: Jesus Christ.  Here is a parable. . . a part of his life-message that reveals what is right and what is wrong in this life. From the ancient book of his disciple, Matthew, chapter 25, we find:  When the Son of Man returns in his glory. . . All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. Then He will say to those on his right, "Come . . .inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." " I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited me in. . . naked, and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to visit with me."

Then the righteous Christians will answer Him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty, and give you something to drink?" "And when did we see you a stranger, and invite you in, or naked, and clothed you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to visit you?" "The Son of Man will answer and say to them, . . . to whatever extent that you did it to one of these, the least of these people of mine, you did it to me!" So we see that the Lord did not deport them, but He had mercy, and gave them a chance to begin a new life. In the here and now of American history, we find that this great nation was founded upon the belief that all men are due a second chance at getting this thing called life. . . right! So send us your tired, your weary, your huddled masses yearning to be free!  Don't deport! Support! those huddled masses yearning to be free. This is what America is all about.  King of Soul
