[Innocuous]

Afflicted widows and orphans were among the most marginalized and abandoned people in Christ's world. I think the larger idea to be drawn from this command is to that we're to minister to the most marginalized and helpless people in our culture. These people have nobody else to help them, nobody cares about them, and there's nothing they can do to repay what you have done to them. And when we do these things to them Christ considers it the same as if we'd done it to him and he expects us to serve them with the same fervor that we'd serve him. Tall order.
