Last Sunday, one of our pastors shared a different version of Matthew 25: 34-45. And I wanted to share it with ya'll. I have to admit, all of these statements hit me pretty hard, as I can say that I've acted like all of these before. It's a good reminder of what's to come in verse 40. Someday the King will reply to us..."Truly, I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." We are serving the King! Let us not grow weary!
Peace! :)
I was hungry and you formed a humanities club to discuss my hunger.
-Thank You.
I was imprisoned and you crept off quietly to your chapel to pray for
my release.
-Nice.
I was naked and in your mind you debated the morality of my appearance.
-What good did that do?
I was sick and you knelt and thanked God for your health.
-But I needed you.
I was homeless and you preached to me of the shelter of the love of God.
-I wish you'd taken me home.
I was lonely and you left me alone to pray for me.
-Why didn't you stay?
You seem so holy, so close to God; but I'm still very hungry, lonely,
cold, and still in pain.
- Does it matter?
