Who are the "least of these"
The phrase “the least of these” is mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew 25:40. In this verse, Jesus says, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” The phrase “the least of these” is generally understood to refer to marginalized and vulnerable people, such as the poor, the hungry, the sick, and the imprisoned. In other words, Jesus is saying that whatever we do to help those who are most in need, we are also doing to help Him.
The purpose of this page is to give you opportunities to serve the least of these right here in our community!
