Unto the Least

Woman: I’ve loved the Lord for thirty-seven years.

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: We show whether we really love Jesus by the way we treat other people.

Woman: I just can’t stand being around Linda. Do you know what I heard about her yesterday?

Nancy: In Matthew 25 Jesus commends those who have met His needs. He says, “As you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” In other words, when we help someone in need, it’s like we’re helping the Lord Himself. He takes what we do for others personally.

If we really believed this, I bet we’d be more careful about how we treat others. Would we lie to Jesus, gossip about Him, or give Him the silent treatment? Jesus says, “As you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”

As you meet people today, try picturing Jesus in their place. It will affect your words and your actions.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
