A beggar was wandering the streets, begging with a bowl in hand. People were throwing rice in it. By evening it was almost full. He was walking back to his hut when he met a very sickly, skin-and-bone beggar. Seeing his bowl full the sick beggar stretched out his arms for alms.
The beggar hesitated. “I have worked hard the whole day to get this much rice and this fellow wants a share of it. Lazy fellow!” He cursed him under his breath and gingerly took one rice grain and put it in his hands and walked off.
Once home he proceeded to clean the rice. Suddenly he noticed something shiny in the rice. He picked it up and realized that it was a grain of gold. Now everything became clear to him. It was not a sick beggar that he saw. It was Jesus in disguise! If he had given his bowl full of rice he would have got a bowl full of golden rice! He cursed his foolishness and sat aghast!
When we help the poor we are helping Jesus. We must give food to poor hungry people and water to the thirsty ones. When we see someone without proper clothes, we must give clothes. We must help
sick people to get proper treatment. We must visit prisoners and bad people to tell them about Christ. Then our reward in Heaven will be great.
