Although Jesus is King and Judge over all the Earth, He chooses to not only empathize with the lowly, but to become lowly Himself. Among the poor, the broken, the needy, the blind, the brokenhearted—that is where He makes his dwelling. For most people, life progresses in such a way that we obtain more prestige and privilege as time goes by and we become less aware of the needs of the marginalized. But, if we want to truly serve Jesus in this life, we should take every opportunity to anchor ourselves to the suffering, because that is where He is.

Matthew 25; Genesis 24; Matthew 11
