1 | The least of these follow up | Matt 25:40 | R D Miller | 219368 | ||
Thanks for the response. I am well aware that the conclusions I have reached about this passage fall outside of conventional interpretation. However, conventional interpretation of this passage has bothered me for years. Why is it that when people read this passage, they assume "the least of these" must be someone else? In order to decide that somone else is "the least" one must declare one self above that person. That goes against everything Jesus had been teaching up to that point. Besides, the world is so full of good-deed-doers. There is no way that the goats, when the time comes, will be standing before God with no acts of charity to show Him. No, they will be quite confident, perhaps even insulted, just like that Pharisee in the temple. But are they ever in for a shock when they find out that acts of charity are not what God was seeking. I pomise you, I am the least among men. Thanks again. |
