The phrase "The Least, The Lost and The Forgotten" calls us to see people through Christ’s eyes—those whom the world often overlooks are deeply loved by God. Jesus consistently showed compassion to the marginalised, reminding us that our faith is lived out in how we treat the least among us. When we care for them, we reflect His love and fulfil His call.
Matthew 25:40 says, “And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me’” (NKJV). This verse challenges us to serve others selflessly, recognising Jesus in those who are vulnerable, forgotten, or in need.
Look for ways to love those the world forgets. In serving them, we draw closer to Christ and reflect His heart to a world in need of His hope.
