The Least of These


Our presenter today is Sandi Gustafson, a member of Saint Luke's. I've titled her talk The Least of These

The notes below expand on Sandi's presentation.

Matthew 25:35-45



[Jesus said,] "for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me."

"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'

"The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothersand sisters, you did it to me.' Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'

"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'

"Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.'"*


The Golden Rule



Luke 6:31
[Jesus said,] "As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them"*
.

MATTHEW 22.39



[Jesus said,] "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."*

CONFESSION



Most merciful God,

we confess that we have sinned against you

in thought, word, and deed,

by what we have done,

and by what we have left undone.

We have not loved you with our whole heart;

we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.

We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.

For the sake of you Son Jesus Christ,

have mercy on us and forgive us;

that we may delight in your will,

and walk in your ways,

to the glory of your Name. Amen. **

Mystery and Simplicity

In today’s world, many of the conflicts we see are shaped, at least in part, by religion. Differences between religions and even within religions cause a variety of problems at home and abroad. Here at St. Luke's we are exploring our own core beliefs as Christians and Episcopalians. Listen in as we ask ourselves how our beliefs shape our values and our actions. Over the coming weeks we will hear from a variety of people about the intersection of their faith and life.

The Voice of the Winged Ox presents Mystery and Simplicity by Jay Phillippi.  

Jay Phillippi is the youth missioner for the Episcopal Church in Western New York
