In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus reveals a profound truth about serving others. When we care for the hungry, thirsty, stranger, naked, sick, or imprisoned, we're not just being Christ to them—we're actually encountering Christ himself. This passage shows that Jesus is present in the equality of all people, in human vulnerability, and in selfless love. Mother Teresa understood this deeply, describing those she served as Jesus in disguise. Whether serving in our church family or broader community, these aren't just good deeds but sacred opportunities to meet the living Christ.
