One Great Hour of
Sharing
Truly I tell you, just as you
did it to one of the least of these who are members
of my family, you did it to me. (27)
(Matthew 25:40)
In this passage, Jesus equates two groups of people:
“the least of these” and “those who are members of
my family.” Jesus declares that those who are
without food, clothing, good health, or a place to
call home are not just people in need, but our
sisters and brothers. These strangers and have-nots
of the world are the people most beloved by Jesus.
This begs the question of how we respond to those
who are strangers to us yet are most dear to Jesus.
Faith and Action
Because we have been equipped by God, we have the
resources to connect with people who are currently
strangers, but whom we will soon recognize as
brothers and sisters in Christ. As donations go to
provide housing or food through One Great Hour of
Sharing, we will see a transformation of those
around us from the hurting unknown to beloved
neighbor.
