Love for the Least
“I was hungry, and you gave me food. I was thirsty, and you gave me
something to drink.”
Matthew 25:35 (NCV)
What is the sign of the saved? Their scholarship? Their willingness to go to
foreign lands? Their ability to amass an audience and preach? Their skillful
pens and hope-filled volumes? Their great miracles? No.
The sign of the saved is their love for the least.
Those put on the right hand of God will be those who gave food to the hungry
drink to the thirsty, warmth to the lonely, clothing to the naked, comfort
to the sick, and friendship to the imprisoned.
Did you note how simple the works are? Jesus doesn't say, "I was sick and
you healed me....I was in prison and you liberated me....I was lonely and
you built a retirement home for me...." He doesn't say, "I was thirsty and
you gave me spiritual counsel."
No fanfare. No hoopla. No media coverage. Just good people doing good things
