The Christian understanding of the works of mercy is based on Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 25: 31-46, where He explains that those who show kindness and help to those in need are ultimately serving Him. Christians are called to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and imprisoned, and welcome strangers with love and compassion. This is a demonstration of practical faith and love in action, fulfilling the command to love our neighbors as ourselves.
