"When did we ever see you hungry and feed you?" (Matthew 25:37)
We had a conversation about this at confirmation the other night. We were talking about bullying. So many times I think these conversations can become "noise." In trying to combat that I made everyone look at the person next to them. Not just glance, but really look into their eyes. I asked them to look for Jesus. The Holy Spirit lives within each of us, so he was there somewhere. I told the kids with good and with bad whatever you do to the people around you, you do to Christ.
Here's a challenge . . . in the course of a day as you interact with other people look at them as though Jesus is living "in their skin." Look into their eyes as though you are looking into the eyes of Christ. No matter the person's age, gender, economic status, level of education, race, or background we are called to treat one another just as we would treat Christ.
