“when did we see you …? ” [Matthew 25:37,38,39(RAV)]
November 28
“when did we see you …? “. Those pronounced righteous on the Day of Judgment repeatedly asked this question when told they had met the Lord and attended to His need.
The fact was that they had seen Him but not recognised Him – when they took warm clothes and wrapped the shivering child, when they spent time prison visiting and sought to relieve the anguish of the prisoners, when they took food to the hungry and drink to the thirsty and administered medicine to the sick. All this and a hundred and one other deeds of mercy brought these benefactors face to face with the Lord and they did not know it. But He did and remembered it as we see from the reward they received.
Only a relative few engage in these missions of mercy today, don’t they?
