 Social Outreach Ministry
'For I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me water; a stranger and you invited me into your homes; naked and you clothed me; sick and in prison and you visited me.’ Then Jesus said, ‘When you did it for the least of these, you were doing it for me!'
- Matthew 25:35-36, 40.
Jesus’ concern with other people’s problems sometimes brought Him in conflict with the authorities and with the laws. Jesus healed the sick on the Sabbath. Jesus upset the tables of the moneychangers. In fact, Jesus upset many people because He told them to do as He did by loving their neighbors as themselves. On one occasion, Jesus described the righteous as those who acted: those who fed the hungry; gave drink to the thirsty; welcomed the stranger; clothed the naked; visited the sick and prisoners.
