I have been pondering the whole verse where Jesus talks about the least of these and how by helping them we are serving Him. As I read that I see him giving examples to the disciples of people who they regualarly came in contact with. It was people they saw almost daily yet ignored, mocked, made fun of, or harrassed. Jesus challenged his disciples to look at these people differently then the world, instead of doing what others were doing to them Jesus said love them, show them you care and in them you will see me and they will see me in you. This is really challenging me to open my eyes and look around, who are the least of these around me that I ignore and don't show love too. In some ways it would be easier if Holland had a huge homeless population, it would be clear. Since that is not the case, I need to be intential in finding the lost, hurt people around me who need love. This following Jesus thing, really messes with me/us.
