Hospitality to the Least
(Matthew 25:31-46)
Main Idea:
God warns that the way we relate to the least of those among us is a mirror reflecting how we relate to Christ.
-
This is a warning. (v. 31-33)
To welcome the least is to welcome Christ. (v. 34-40)
To reject the least is to reject Christ. (v. 41-46; Lk. 12-14)
Reflect | Repent | Respond
When you consider the “least of these” who comes to mind? >> What does that reveal about your heart?
What would change if the “least of these” brought thoughts of who you are outside of Christ?
> What do we learn about Jesus by his love for the least?
> What do we learn about our value in God’s eyes?
Jesus tells parables to pain kingdom pictures. What type of picture is he painting here?
> In what way is the Word and Spirit inviting you to show hospitality to the least?
