The Least of These

I will include this poem with my sermon on Sunday based on Matthew 25:31-46.

 

 
I was hungry. . .
            For food and you gave me groceries
            For attention and you listened to me
            For justice and you helped me write letters
 
I was thirsty. . .
            For knowledge and you tutored me
            For achievement and you encouraged me
            For safe water and you helped dig a well
 
I was naked . . .
            With my mask removed and you accepted me
            Emotionally and you helped me look inside myself
            Morally and you led me by example
 
I was a stranger. . .      
            In a new community and you made me feel at home
            At your church and you introduced me to others
           
I was sick
            And you prayed for my healing
            And you visited me in the hospital
            And you brought a meal to our family
 
I was in prison
            To my fears and you helped calm my fears
            To my limitations and you helped me see new options
            And you visited me and wrote letters
 
I am the least of these and I am Jesus

Larry, it does not get any more basic then the words you have penned. A sermon which should be preached over and over.

Peace,
Dan

Your poem is very good, as I'm sure your sermon will be, my friend.

It should provide thoughts to some and peace to others, and over all...hope!
