Summary
The least of these are not the least of the least, according to the Bible. The Bible teaches universal brotherhood and universal fatherhood, but not everyone is all of these things. The problem is, the Bible teaches that there is no such thing as the "lesser of these."

and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480
five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. It's important for us to remember
00:00:29.620
that we have a universal neighborhood what i mean by that is all 8.2 8.3 whatever it is billion
00:00:37.780
people on the planet right now they are all our neighbors they are not all our brothers
00:00:44.040
the bible teaches when it comes to humanity a universal neighborhood that stems from the
00:00:51.780
universal creatorhood of god god is universal creator there's not one person that god is not
00:00:59.680
their creator and there's not one person that is not our neighbor but the bible while teaching
00:01:05.860
universal creatorhood of god and neighborhood of humanity the bible teaches particular fatherhood
00:01:12.920
and particular brotherhood god is creator of all but father of some
00:01:19.400
and everyone is my neighbor but not everyone is my brother and John is actually just echoing the
00:01:30.140
words of Jesus Christ himself who taught that whatever you do for the least of these
00:01:38.100
here's the key phrase my brothers you have done for me we have so taken the words of Christ in
00:01:47.720
that particular place out of context we say whatever you do for the least of these you've
00:01:54.060
done for jesus so how do you love jesus who is at the right hand of god the father how do i love
00:02:00.760
christ well i can't go to heaven not now but the way that i can feed christ is i can feed the least
00:02:10.180
of these i can clothe christ by clothing the least of these i can visit christ when he's oppressed
00:02:16.420
and imprisoned by visiting these that's what jesus says that if you even give a cup of cold water to
00:02:24.780
one of these little ones in my name you've done it for me how do you love jesus well you love the
00:02:33.020
least of these but again the key phrase is the least of these my brothers we've taken that out
00:02:40.540
of context because what we've done with evangelical protestant churches today is we've just said the
00:02:47.160
least of these and we've removed that phrase my brothers and then we think that it's our own
00:02:53.960
decision that we have our own creative license and authority to determine who are the least of
1.00
00:03:00.780
these in society today and so we'll say well the least of these are lgbt community and i would say
1.00
00:03:10.020
well no it's the least of these my brothers these people are living in impenitent sin
1.00
00:03:15.660
therefore there is no sign that they are brothers secondly even by the standard of neighbors these
00:03:22.400
are not the least of these these would be equivalent to princes and kings there is no
1.00
00:03:27.180
higher status you could have in our god-hating society today than being lgbt they're not
0.97
00:03:33.300
oppressed. Three percent of the population is oppressing 97 percent. These are not the least
0.99
00:03:42.300
of these by any metric of being the least of these, much less a biblical metric. So let's go ahead and
00:03:49.200
remove that one. Well, maybe the least of these isn't, you know, LGBT, LMNOP, whatever, but maybe
00:03:56.160
the least of these are immigrants we've heard that one maybe it's immigrants i mean they have
1.00
00:04:04.660
no rights what what do you mean they do have rights our taxes go to them whether they do
1.00
00:04:15.180
anything or not. They're given checks. They're paid. In some places, they can vote depending
00:04:27.520
on that city and that county. No, no, no. They're not the least of these. And that's, again, is by
00:04:36.940
a universal neighborhood standard. But again, that's not the biblical standard. Whatever you
00:04:41.860
do for the least of these my brothers when jesus says whatever you do for the least of these my
00:04:47.020
brothers the person who's imprisoned you know who he's talking about the person who's imprisoned
00:04:51.300
as a christian for preaching the gospel the person who's wrongfully imprisoned when you
00:04:58.140
clothe those who are naked my brothers he's talking about christians who have been plundered
00:05:02.560
and robbed and persecuted for their faith in christ those who are hungry who are christians
