Pro wrestler Titus O’Neil had one goal in mind when he brought homeless people to a fancy restaurant for a good meal: He wanted to show them the power of God.
The wrestler first approached a group of homeless people in San Diego on Friday to bring them to the Yardhouse restaurant for “a good meal,” Yahoo Sports reported. The restaurant, though, turned them all away.
But instead of tapping out, O’Neil came back the next day with an even larger group of homeless people.
The Yardhouse’s response was different the second time around. The staff let O’Neil and the homeless people inside and served them, according to O’Neil’s Instagram.
All of this, O’Neil said, was to show people to love others and follow God’s plan.
“I’m not the richest man in the world, but Money, Fame and Status have never held me Bondage because at the end of the day I’ve Gone without before and God has always provided for me,” O’Neil wrote on Instagram. “Now I have the opportunity to do the exact thing that others did for me when I had nothing to give them in return … LOVE OTHERS!!! Thanks to those that accepted Help & Those that Treated my guest at lunch as Humans, Patrons and Gods People (sic).”
O’Neil followed up with a third Instagram post thanking the media for drawing attention to the story. He summed up the entire experience with one biblical quote:
"Whatever you do for the least of these brothers & sisters of mine, you did for me" - Matthew 25:40
