Chrysostom, with admirable bluntness, notes that some happily dress a prostitute in gold while stepping over Christ shivering in the poor. Same wallet, different priorities.

Andreas Gerhard Hyperius was Flemish Lutheran/Reformed theologian. He reads Matthew 25 and says God rather fancies the godly poor—the overlooked, the skint saints—so much that Christ treats what you do for them as done to Him.
