Religion & Spirituality
The judge– Christ– is all around us, 24 hours a day. “Just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family you did it to me.” Members of this church and others regularly speak to me about the difficulty of encounters with homeless people. The difficulty is that the homeless person is a judgment. A judgment on us, and on our society. Understanding THAT is the first step. We push them away, sometimes, because they smell bad, or because they lack good manners. But we really push them away because they make us uncomfortable. They remind us of the vast work of the kingdom of heaven. They remind us of this parable. “Just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family you did it to me.”
