The kingdom of God (1)

¶ Matthew 25:31 – 3

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him will be gathered all nations: and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: And he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left. Them will the King say to them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was hungry, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in: naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.

 

¶ Matthew 25:37 - 40

Then will the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, and fed you? or thirsty, and gave you drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and clothed you? Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and came to you? And the King will answer and say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.

 

¶ Matthew25:41 – 43 Then will he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, you are cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was hungry, and you gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and you did not take me in: naked, and you would not give me cloths: sick, and in prison, and you did not visited me.

 

¶ Matthew 25:44 – 46 Then will they also answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you? Then will he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as you did not do it for one of the least of these, you did not do it for me. And these will go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

 

 

"For I was hungry, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in: naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.

Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it to me"

 

Take something from this and evaluate how you live your life.

Is your life centered on you and yours?

Or is your life centered on Christ?

 

If your life is centered on Christ the question of caring for others or not won’t even need to be asked, if your heart is in the right place your actions will also be.
