THE ""CHOSEN: WHAT "THE LEAST OF THESE" MAKES OF THE LIVING

THE CHOSEN: WHAT "THE LEAST OF THESE" MAKES OF THE LIVING.

"Many are called, but few are CHOSEN," taught Jesus.

I never understood this until recently. Here it is.

True example: A year ago dozens of folks are on a subway platform. A white fella passes out and falls perpendicularly on the tracks as a train was rushing into the station (the least of these). A black fella jumped down, moving them both between the tracks, and lay on top of him. Asked later why he did it the answer was, "He was me," or some such thing.

All the onlookers were "Called" by their eyes and Humanity to act. But only one was Chosen by the situation - irresistibly grabbed - Chosen by the situation.

But among the onlookers and and subsequent News Paper readers - maybe next time more will be Chosen. That's how it works. Humanity breeds Humanity. Inhumanity breeds Inhumanity.

Gandhi was Chosen, and then others.

Civil Rights Marchers were Chosen, and then others....

All hope lies with the Chosen.

ps: Want to be among the "Chosen," the Living? Keep yourself among the-least-of-these; entirely. Or you and all you love WILL be Dead and maybe dEAD too.
