Throughout Scripture, we see God's unwavering love for the least, the last, and the lost. While the world often overlooks, rejects, and forgets these individuals, God seeks them, lifts them up, and calls them His own.
THE LEAST: God Exalts the Humble
In Matthew 5:3, Jesus proclaims: “Blessed are
the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” The world may see
weakness in the least -- those who lack wealth, status, or power -- but God
sees value. He calls us to humility, reminding us that greatness in His kingdom
is not measured by possessions but by a surrendered heart.
THE LAST: God Raises the Lowly
Jesus said in Matthew 20:16, “So the last
will be first, and the first will be last.” Those who are pushed aside -- ignored,
forgotten, or considered unworthy -- are the very ones Jesus embraced. He
flipped human expectations, showing that His love knows no ranking, and His
grace extends beyond worldly judgment.
THE LOST: God Seeks the Wandering
Jesus makes His mission clear in Luke 19:10: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” No matter how far someone strays, no matter how broken their past, Jesus searches for them. Like the shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to find the one lost sheep (Luke 15:4-6), He relentlessly pursues those who need Him most.
THE CALL TO US
God’s heart has always been for the outcast,
the forgotten, and the wandering. He calls us to reflect His love -- embracing
the least, uplifting the last, and seeking the lost. Whether that means caring
for the vulnerable, offering kindness to the overlooked, or sharing the gospel
with the hurting, we are invited to be His hands and feet in this world.
