What we do to the youngest/ babies in the family of God (Those redeemed by His blood) and to those in a pre-salvation state who is going to be saved, and to the children & widows, etc...; we are also doing it as unto our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.
Jesus knows His brothers & sisters abiding in Him. So someone might not appear to be that great in someones eyes and judge and treat bad. That person could be a baby Christian. So we really treated Jesus bad also.
When Paul was persecuting the Church. Jesus appeared to him & asked Paul why he was persecuted Him? Paul didn't realize how he was persecuting Him. Jesus said that when Paul persecuted the Christians or Messianic Jews, he was persecuting Christ/ Messiah.
Paul repented and converted to faith in Christ.

Matthew 25:40 "... Inasuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
It's all about the fact that we are all God's children; He created us and He has commanded us to love each other; and if we can't love each other, then how can we love Him?

The exact verse is Matthew 25:40. I included the whole thought that Jesus was meaning.
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 † When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 † Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Matt 25:40 "Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
I guess that explains why Christians are so vicious and bigoted.
