The Golden Calf

The teachings of Christ consistently emphasize empathy and compassion toward all people, especially those suffering or marginalized. In Matthew 25:40, Jesus said:

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

This profound directive urges believers not just to feel compassion but to actively extend kindness, understanding, and aid to those in need. Christ’s example of healing the sick, welcoming strangers, and caring for the poor provides a clear guide on how Christians are called to respond to the struggles faced by others. In a world where divisive rhetoric often overshadows compassion, reflecting on these biblical principles encourages us to reconnect with our true calling—living out empathy and love in every action we take.
