On nearly a daily basis, Christians re-crucify their confessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by taking actions against the most vulnerable in our midst. Most recently, Roman Catholic Governor Greg Abbott bused asylum-seekers across country and dumped them in frigid temperatures at the home of Kamala Harris. Since April of this year, Mr Abbott has used nearly nine thousand migrants in this manner to score points with his blood red base in Gilead.  Jesus was quite clear about how we should treat the vulnerable: 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. 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, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ 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. 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, ‘Truly I tell you, 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.” [Disclaimer] Verse 46 is bullshit and barbaric - even more so than Mr Abbotts mean-boy stunts. For the purposes of this post let's just use it as a proof point on just how serious Jesus was about this...            ~
