“Then
the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.’
‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’
“Then
the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You,
or thirsty, and give You something to drink?’
‘And,
when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?
When
did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’
The
King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you
did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to
Me.’”
Matthew
25:34-40
Jesus
sometimes speaks in parables which confound us; then again He speaks clearly so
that we cannot possibly miss His meaning.
This is one of those times.
We
need not wonder about who we should help in the name of Jesus because He has
told us we are to help everyone.
When
we serve others, we serve Jesus.
