A parable for our time
Jul. 15th, 2020 07:40 pm(Based on Matthew, chapter 25):
For I was hungry, and you donated to my local food bank: I was walking along the pavement and you crossed the road to give me distance: I was close by indoors and you wore your mask: I was poor and you supported free health care.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and donated to thy local food bank? Or on the pavement, and gave thee distance?
When saw we thee close by indoors, and wore a mask? Or saw thee poor and supported free health care?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it for one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it for me.
For I was hungry, and you did not donate to my local food bank: I was walking along the pavement and you did not cross the road to give me distance: I was close by indoors and you did not wear your mask: I was poor and you did not support free health care.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and did not donate to thy local food bank? Or on the pavement, and did not give thee distance?
When saw we thee close by indoors, and did not wear a mask? Or saw thee poor and did not support free health care?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have not done it for one of the least of these my brethren, ye have not done it for me.
For I was hungry, and you donated to my local food bank: I was walking along the pavement and you crossed the road to give me distance: I was close by indoors and you wore your mask: I was poor and you supported free health care.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and donated to thy local food bank? Or on the pavement, and gave thee distance?
When saw we thee close by indoors, and wore a mask? Or saw thee poor and supported free health care?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it for one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it for me.
For I was hungry, and you did not donate to my local food bank: I was walking along the pavement and you did not cross the road to give me distance: I was close by indoors and you did not wear your mask: I was poor and you did not support free health care.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and did not donate to thy local food bank? Or on the pavement, and did not give thee distance?
When saw we thee close by indoors, and did not wear a mask? Or saw thee poor and did not support free health care?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have not done it for one of the least of these my brethren, ye have not done it for me.
