40 "Then the King will answer, 'I tell you the truth, anything you did for even the least of my people here, you also did for me.'
Did You make fun of the nerd in High School or did you sit down and talk to him?
Did you look away when the poor girl who is not smart walked by?
Did you cross the street when you seen the crippled person in the wheel chair up ahead so you wouldn't feel uncomfortable?
Did you look down your nose at the ________?(you fill in the blank, Go ahead I'm sure you have one, I do)
These are some Pictures I took while in Honduras. Beautiful creations of God. My wife is starting to get me stuck on plants and flowers. She just loves flowers. So I tried to take some pictures for her while I was on the mission trip.
The reason I posted these photos is to show you something that I noticed while looking at and for the flowers. GO...Look at them again! (Click on them and open them up to larger pictures)
What do you notice about them? OK, aside that they are different varieties. Some grow on bushes, one is a tree. yet another is just a flower plant.
They are all very pretty flowers right? They are all equally beautiful creations of God...agree?
Look again at the last one. the pink one. Very delicate, and very pretty right?
Out of the 18 people in my group not a single person seen it, yet every one of us walked right over it...literally stepped over it. Even I missed it.
Why?
Because it is very tiny, very small about a 1/4 of an inch across. I had to use a macro lens to get the photo. I had to find it by looking for it. I was looking for something, and i found it!
Now think again about the person you filled into the blank above. Are they that small and insignificant of a person that they deserve to be treated like they are a nobody?
Matthew 25:40 (New Century Version)
40 "Then the King will answer, 'I tell you the truth, anything you did for even the least of my people here, you also did for me.'
That person in the wheelchair is Jesus, that poor girl who is not to smart, is Jesus That nerd you made fun of is Jesus, That homeless kid in Honduras, is Jesus.
Jesus spent his time with the least of us. The people at the bottom the people who don't even get noticed, they get stepped over. Jesus wasn't here to hang out with the Richie's...or the super stars, He loves Tim Duncan, but not because he bounces a silly orange ball! I Think If Jesus was here today walking the earth he would be in places like Honduras! The tree with the big flowers and the bushes with the big flowers get all the attention...Why?
Someday Jesus will say Thank you for building me a home, thank you for feeding me when I was hungry, Thank you for giving me a chance to live when I did not have one. You will be puzzled and say but lord I didn't feed you or build you a Home, or give a chance to live...He will say "anything you did for even the least of my people, you also did for me."
