Re: Un-American Republican Obstruction: The Senate GOP's bore on Christmas

Jesus comforted and healed the sick and fed the hungry, and he asked
us to do the same.

Matthew 25:35: "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:"

Isaiah 58:7 "Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to
provide the poor wanderer with shelter--when you see the naked, to
clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?"

John 7:37: "Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood
and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!"

A message to the Grand Obsructionist Republicans:

Ezekiel 18:7 "He does not oppress anyone, but returns what he took in
pledge for a loan. He does not commit robbery but gives his food to
the hungry and provides clothing for the naked."

I was an hungered - The union between Christ and his people is the
most tender and endearing of all connections. It is represented by the
closest unions of which we have knowledge, John 15:4-6; Ephesians
5:23-32; 1 Corinthians 6:15. This is a union - not physical, but
moral; a union of feelings, interests, plans, destiny; or, in other
words, he and his people have similar feelings, love the same objects,
share the same trials, and inherit the same blessedness, John 14:19;
Revelation 3:5, Revelation 3:21; Romans 8:17. Hence, he considers
favors shown to his people as shown to himself, and will reward them
accordingly, Matthew 10:40, Matthew 10:42. They show attachment to
him, and love to his cause. By showing kindness to the poor, the
needy, and the sick, they show that they possess his spirit, for he
did it when on earth; they evince attachment to him, for he was poor
and needy; and they show that they have the proper spirit to outfit
them for heaven,
