Just as you did it to one of the least of these...you did it to me.
Reading
Ezek 34:15-20I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak.
Mt 25:31-40I 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.
Christian Unity
The prophet Ezekiel describes the Lord God as a shepherd who makes the flock whole by gathering in those who have strayed and binding up those who are injured. Unity is the Father’s desire for his people and he continues to bring about this unity, to make the flock whole, through the action of his Holy Spirit. Through prayer we open ourselves to receive the Spirit which restores the unity of all the baptized.
Challenge
How are the “least of these” invisible to you or your church? How can our churches work together to care for and serve “the least of these?”
Prayer
God of Love, We thank you for your unending care and love for us.
Help us to sing redemption songs. Open wide our hearts to receive your love and to extend your compassion to the whole of the human family. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
