The least of these

The news that 47% of the estimated 280 million migrants around the world are Christians (see report here) should bring us all up short.

Our brothers and sisters are, it seems, the largest single bloc of people among those moving across the world because of persecution, poverty, war, and so on.

In Matthew 25:40, Jesus tells us: ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ In context, these words, apply first and foremost to fellow believers.
