Responsible Sibling: What it Means to Be A Brothers' Keeper

by Jorge Mendoza, Dhati Lewis (Foreword)

"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, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me." Matthew 25:35,36, & 40 So often these words of our Lord are called upon to encourage care and concern for all mankind, with a special sensitivity to the less fortunate. While Jesus is the ultimate humanitarian, and as his followers we are to love all people and devote ourselves to acts of charity, many of us have missed who Jesus compares himself to in this passage - his brothers. Jesus specifically establishes a standard of love among those who have become relatives by way of their shared faith. But is this how we treat one another? Are you a responsible sibling? In his first book, Jorge Mendoza challenges readers to accept that if you are a child of God, you must embrace that you have siblings. Mendoza wants Christians to experience the duties and delights of having brothers and sisters and understanding that the church is not like family - it is family.
