What Does Jesus Care About?

When Jesus stood before people and spoke the words recorded in Matthew 25:35
He did talk about their social standing or their knowledge on the Torah. He did not talk about the rich or the poor which he could have.
No, He said:
“I was hungry.I was thirsty.I was a stranger.I needed clothes.I was sick.” These specific categories were identifried years later by Abraham Maslow as physiological needs and safety. Food, water, clothing, heath care and shelter are required for the basics of life to sustain life. These basics are necessary for any individual to progress to higher standards of living. Abraham Maslow was restating what Christ had identified.
Why is this important? It is important because what was necessary to sustain life in biblical times is very much important in modern times.
Every day, we notice hundreds of things. We notice what people are wearing. We notice what they drive. We notice what they post online. We notice what is happening in the news.
