Matthew 25:40 “And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to Me.”
Dear God,
This is such a serious passage for all Christians, when Jesus tells of dividing the righteous and the unrighteous, at His second coming, found today in Matthew 25:31 – 46.
But also a wonderful uplifting thought; Jesus comes as our King, verse 31, “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, and then He will sit on the throne of His glory.” It is then He will divide the sheep (righteous people) on His right hand and the goats (unrighteous) on His left hand, verse 34, “Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” Jesus will then recount how the righteous cared for His needs, by helping others. It did not cross the mind of the righteous, when occupied in helping, for e.g., feeding and clothing others, that they did it unto Jesus.
Please, dear God, direct me today, so that I will also love You best, and have a love for all other people, because Your love is in me. So many times I have had to seek forgiveness and a renewed attitude and heart, for a hard heartedness toward others, that occurs too often.
Amen
