CARE FOR OTHERS IS CARE FOR THE LORD!

Matthew 25:31-40

New Living Translation

The Final Judgment

31 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’

37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’

me: ON CAREGIVING

If it's someone like my husband, who I love, it's easier to be his caregiver while he heals from surgery. Yet, some are called by God to care give people they find difficult. Jesus taught us when we care for those in need, He counts as if it were done for Him. If we remember His teaching, we will feel more motivated in continuing to do a good job with love in our hearts.

Prayer for All

Lord Jesus, help me to joyfully care for people, knowing I'm doing the same for You. Amen.
