"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these..."

The topic of this blog comes from Matthew 25: 34-45. Below is the passage from the King James Version.

"34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me."

So. Wondered why I decided to write about this? Simple. Ten days ago , our President signed a law cutting food stamp benefits.

You heard me. 

He cut food from the mouths of hungry people. 

Praising the bill under bipartisan support, he believes that this will help create more jobs and move the economy forward. 

Seems that this President forgot that if people are hungry they will not be able to work. The food stamp cut does not affect those who could do without it. It would affect those who could ill afford to lose the food, primarily the elderly, disabled and those who can only find one or two jobs and have a family to feed.  

Color me confused but for a President that professes his Christianity he would remember the words above from Jesus.
