From "Meditations from the Generosity Monk: KELLY KAPIC: TO PROVIDE SHELTER TO A CHILD IS TO WELCOME THE LORD The King wlll 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 25:40 “To visit a prisoner is to visit Jesus; to provide shelter to a child is to welcome the Lord. And “do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers,” writes the author of Hebrews, “for thereby some have entertained angels unawares” (Heb. 13:2; cf. Gen. 18:1-15; Judg. 6:11-24; 13:3-24). To neglect a brother in need is not only to reject our neighbor it is to reject Jesus. “So then,” Calvin comments on Matthew 25, “whenever we are reluctant to assist the poor, let us place before our eyes the son of God.” Kelly Kapic God So Loved, He Gave: Entering the Movement of Divine Generosity (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2010), p. 197.
