the least of these
I believe that the least of these are the ones who are viewed as the lowest in society, such as those who are in legal trouble. These people lack discipline and love in my opinion, and they need help from people to show them how to act and who love them.
because of our knowledge of Christ and his forgiveness, we must treat others with such love that we have recieved
I think that probation is a great way to offer offenders a second chance, and is a huge way to show grace to these hurting people
