" To a woman shamed by an embarrassing malady, to a social outcast with leprosy, to a thief hanging on a cross hours from death, to a common prostitute — to all these people and many more he held out the bright promise that significance is not something attained but rather bestowed by a gracious God. And thus we who follow Jesus should treat those who rank low on society’s scale — “the least of these,” in Jesus’ phrase — as he did, proclaiming by our deeds what we believe about the image of God in every person. "
