Uplifting The Least, Guiding The Lost, Prioritizing The Last
Jesus is the judge of the entire world. It reminds us that a day will come where we will stand before the
Lord to give an accounting of our own life. Then we will either be invited to join Jesus’ flock?
Our battle cry is to serve the least, the lost, and the last. This is not our usual practice. We are
comfortable serving those who we love and those who are close to us. It makes sense to us to love those
who we like or who will love us in return. But Jesus is asking us to serve the least, the lost, and the last,
and that means we have some searching out to do. Because the truth is that you and I do not usually live
surrounded by the least, the lost, and the last. We have to find out where they are.
For some of us, the search is close at hand. It might be in our very families. There might be our parents
who is always lost, who struggles to keep up or the brothers and sisters that falls time and time again by
abusing drugs or alcohol. When we think so much of family, Jesus is telling us that it is our role to feed
and to clothe the least, the lost, and the last in our own families.
Who is the least at school or at work? Jesus is asking us to do more than simply love our friends and care
for those who everyone admires. Who is the person that people reject, the person that they avoid? That
is the person that Jesus is asking us to care for and to visit.
Who is the last? It might be ourselves, we must seek the inner peace in our hearts. We need to find and
see God in everything that we do, Jesus is asking us, we cannot share ourselves to others as we are not
empty of Him.
Nowadays, the people with this kind of stage in their lives, is like a life is full of uncertainty, insecurity
and anxiety. Because they know, deep down, that they really don’t deserve anything from God. There’s
the constant worry of whether they’ve done enough. Enough to impress God. Always focusing of what
others will say. The list of achievements. Unsure whether balanced out the bad deeds with the good
deeds. Unsure whether they’re unworthy.
But God isn’t interested in those who are worthy, or those who’ve got it all together. He’s come for the
LEAST, for the LOST, and for the LAST. God is revealed as the one who seeks out the lost, who brings
back those who have strayed, who binds up the injured, who heals the sick. This is why we must go out
and search for the least, the lost, and the last. When we find them, we will find God, we trust, and we
will also find eternal life.
