In Colonial America each household was required to keep a leather bucket next to the front door. If the alarm of fire was sounded, each homeowner would immediately stop what he was doing, grab the leather bucket, go outdoors and join the bucket brigade. If you watched the HBO movie John Adams starring Paul Giamatti, in the first act Adams heard the cry of fire. He got up from his writing desk, grabbed his bucket, and then, since it was in the middle of a Boston winter, tried desperately to find a water pump that was not frozen. In these times of crisis no one asked if my neighbor was someone who I liked or disliked, or was someone I knew or a stranger; the only issue was to take one's place along the long line of the bucket brigade.
The disciples asked Jesus when did they see him hungry, thirsty, naked, or a stranger? The answer is well known, "Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." Be it feeding the hungry or passing a bucket from patron to patron, we are serving Jesus.
