The “Least of These…”

On the way to the train station, the FTTN Village Team took this photo of a woman—foraging for food in a garbage can, not only feeding herself, but her young child tightly clutched in her arms.

Have you ever read Matthew 25:31-46 closely?

The Judge…
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him,

The Court Room…
He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory.

The Accused…
32 All the nations will be gathered before Him,

The Verdict…
and He will SEPARATE the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.  33 He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.

The Reward…
34 “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.

THE EVIDENCE…
35 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,  36 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.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink?  38 When did we see You a stranger and invite You in, or needing clothes and clothe You?  39 When did we see You sick or in prison and go to visit You?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you DID for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’

The Punishment…
41 “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

More Evidence…
42 For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,  43 I was a stranger and you did not invite Me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help You?’
45 “He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did NOT do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

The Question…
According to these scriptures, what determines whether people receive, “Eternal Punishment” or “Eternal Life?

The Answer…What you do for the Least of These…

What would you do for…

a blind, abandoned, hopeless, Chinese orphan boy…

That’s why we go to the most remote regions in China—to show the love of Jesus.

Fischer Family Ministries, recently joined by fulltime laborers, Dan and Abbie (left pic, top, middle), and their son Kilenc, along with our other long-time assistant Jessica, and her father (right pic, his first missions trip with Jessica) and our FTTN Village Outreach Team took many Children’s materials into China.

Once in Mainland China, the team consisting of seven HK Chinese from our own Faith Family Church, Hong Kong and the Americans, paused for a photo with all the Bibles and supplies for the orphanage children, then stealthfully launched out—to the “regions beyond.”

Shortly into the journey, the team stopped to make a delivery to some Chinese brothers and sisters who met them along the way  (Our son Naiah in the pic on the left)…Then proceeded to the train station…to wait…

Travelling in China has sure become easier with the latest efforts of the Chinese Govt to improve signage and train food!!! (Sharmin and our daughter Jael in the middle pic)

The team arrives at their destination and magnetically draws the stares of the natives…and they’re off to the orphanage!

The team arrived at the orphanage with the warmest greetings!  The director explains the vision…

The team also preached and ministered to a House Church.

And as is the common response, the Chinese were thrilled to receive the completely unattainable Children’s books.

Another stop was made in a very-rural village where the team members were told, “most villagers have never seen a white person before!” The propose was to help distribute rice to the widows and the poor of this unreached area, where there are No Christians and the Gospel has never been preached—Until Now!

When the team members arrived at the rice storehouse, people were already lined up at the door.  The team readied the 40lb. bags of rice and handed them out to the grateful recipients.  (our daughter, Jasmine, in the second and third pic)

Still one more stop needed to be made.  Our host, hearing of an elderly sick woman in the village, offered to pray for her.  The family members conceded and welcomed the team into their home.

Then upstairs to the bedroom where the woman lay and the team prayed fervently.

After a full and satisfying days-work, the team had one left thing to do…the journey…back to civilization…
