YOUR FUTURE: FOR "THE LEAST OF THESE" WHAT WOULD IT BE?

USCCB - NAB - Matthew 25 "45 He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for ONE of these least ones, you did not do for me. 46 And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." This is the whole deal of Jesus teachings. "[Everything] depends on each man's efforts and striving to make people see that life is given, not for oneself personally, but for the fulfillment of the Father's will, which alone saves from death and gives life." The Gospel in Brief.

Punishment? NO! Jesus is not about that. Sin [error] / Divorce from Our Father / Divorce from Love-Life-Truth? YES!!! Jesus died to tell us about this; about NATURAL CONSEQUENCES!

Unless you work for Doctors Without Borders or the like then probably 99.9% of the people you've ever met or heard about... we all RELIGIOUSLY VIOLATE THIS (Jesus' exhortations above.)

There are three issues in considering our return to Love / Life / Truth - Our Father:
  1. Type of Occupation: Tanning Salon, Gated Community Development, Video Games are examples of occupations that are extremely unlikely to be LARGELY for the "least of these."
  2. Clientele: We are the rich man that neglected Lazarus (Luke 16 19-31). Can you face what I could not? We are a society of Prostitutes, Pimps and Narcotic Pushers. We cannot Save ourselves or others by selling "Narcotics" (addictions to stuff, superiority, and institutions) to materially rich folks. Can we.
  3. How much Love: "It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving." Teresa of Calcutta. What we are dying for is Models of Life / Loving / Militant Brotherliness / being Christian.
