An excerpt from 'The Wealth of Christians': There is no escaping Jesus' teaching on care and love for our fellow men. There is no exclusivity for Christians: the hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, prisoners, children, poor, crippled, lame, blind, widows, even enemies are his followers' responsibility and are to be welcomed into the Christian community (Mt. 25: 35-44).... What is particularly special about [Jesus'] teaching, however, is that he claimed that, when we carry out acts of generosity and love, we are at the same time witnessing to his presence in our lives: 'He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit: for apart from me you can do nothing' (Jn. 15: 5).
