Matthew 25 reports something important about how we respond to others. We know it well; but do we live by it? I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me sonething to drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. ..... 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!
Is it not an indictment on the church and society that we still can, all too easily, identify those who might be dubbed the outcast or the marginalised? We need to learn to take seriously Christ's instruction that we are to be seen as his hands, feet, voice - that we have the job of offering his love. We need to see Christ in our needy neighbour.
