Helping The Poor In Jesus Name

"“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.  For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,  I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?  When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?  When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’  "
                                                              - Matthew 25:34-40

By giving to the poor, and evangalizing, your not only doing so for "the least of these" you are doing so for Jesus Christ.

If you saw Jesus sick, would you care for him? If he was hungry would you give him food? If he was in need of shelter, would you provide him a place to stay?

I hope the answer is yes, if so, why not do so?  Like it says in verse 40 ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
