Scary Verses

There exists what I call “scary verses.” They are “scary” because they are opposite the way many live, think and/or vote. I consider Matthew 25:35-40 to be alarming

Matthew 25:35-40 English Standard Version (ESV) 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

How do we view Jesus? What if the answer to that question are connected to two other questions? How do we view immigrants? How do we view the poor?
