AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 25:40 "The King will answer and say to them, 'I assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it for Me.' [Prov 19:17] |
Subject: Who are "the least of these?" |
Bible Note: Dear Azure and Yenisa, Excuse me for just jumping in, but there were no christians at the time of Matthew 12. Jesus did have brethren and brothers, though, His people, the Jews. Throughout the NT we read, 'to the Jew first, then to the Greek'. Was not the promise given to Abraham by God that all who blessed him (Abraham's descendants) God would bless, and all who cursed him God would curse? Why should the statement in Matthew be any different? (Christians become included by being grafted into Israel, but the promise remains to the Jewish people.) Thank you for listening. Dhaniei |
