suffered, and he personally rescued them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them” (Isaiah 63:9 NLT). Paul was persecuting Christians, yet Jesus asked him, “Why are you persecuting Me?” Jesus feels our pain. He tells us on the final day God will say, “I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.” When? they will ask. “When you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!” (Matthew 25:35, 40 NLT).
