“In as much as you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto me.”
These words were said by the One Who is no respecter of persons. What did He mean by ”least”?
Certainly He did not mean the least valuable—He died for everyone.
“Least” is a position man assigns to others. God was addressing our own values—our viewpoint—not His.
When we say “least” about another we are really calling ourselves better than they are.
My thoughts go to the forgotten, discarded children Children's Cup reaches to around the world. THEY ARE NOT THE LEAST VALUABLE.
They may be the least loved, the least loveable, the least beautiful, the least educated, least sophisticated, least talented, and the least cared for--but not the least valuable.
Yet their most crushing need—they are often the least aware of Who Jesus is.
We can, we must change this.
